This was such a fun experience! Our guide was amazing and did such a good job with having us all feel included in the cooking process. He was so easy to talk to and it felt like everyone there were friends by the end of it. If you’re looking for something to do on your trip, I highly recommend this!

Pan con Tomate, a delicious local starter accompanied by Ham, Sausages and Cheese. Sangria, a fruity and refreshing wine punch. Traditionally, a Paella is a communal meal with family and friends.

A very wonderful and fun experience! Our teacher was friendly and patient. Food was delicious! We would do it again.
If you want a taste of history, tradition, elegance, authenticity, charm, and of course a hands-on cooking experience that leads you to the MOST delicious sangria, tapas, and paella … then book with Paella Maestro!! Do you know how tapas originated? What can be made with a piece of bread, a clove of garlic, half a tomato, and olive oil? What are the ingredients of a perfect traditional paella? Book here and you will learn these secrets!! And an added bonus… learn how to drink from a porrón!!! Exceptional is an understatement! Thank you Eladi!
Such a great experience. So happy I booked it. Not only ending in a delicious meal, but the explanations of the meal’s existence made so much sense.
This cooking class was an unforgettable highlight of our trip—fun, interactive, and full of authentic Spanish flavors. The chef was passionate and shared fascinating insights about paella, tapas, and sangria, making the whole experience both educational and entertaining. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Barcelona!
The experience was great! I went with my boyfriend and my mom, celebrating her 60th birthday! My mom has been talking nonstop about the class it was very informative and had a great vibe. Class was so good we started making our own sangria at home and we just ordered a paella pan so we can start making this aswell. 20/10 experience would do again!
Alade (I hope I spelled that right) was so knowledgeable and nice. We laughed, drank sangria and made a fabulous seafood paella!
Absolutely fab experience with family while on holiday. I would recommend to anyone interested in making or eating paella in Barcelona.
SO MUCH FUN! 10/10 you must do this as a couple or family when you come to barcelona. the chef was very informative and willing to share the culture and history behind the dish and kept it very fun and entertaining.
Absolutely phenomenal experience and dinner. Learn to make sangria the proper way, and tapas. One of the best tours I have taken with Viator
The best experience in Barcelona. We learned so much, laughed so hard and enjoyed the class very much!! If you have to choose one experience in Barcelona this is it!
We arrived 15 minutes before class as they suggested. Took 1 hour from city center and no one answered the door. We called and only got an answering machine. Taxi waited for us as there were no people or traffic on the street. We asked for a refund and they said they were there. This is not a legitimate business. Do not sign up for this.
Fun experience! Learned lots about the paella tradition here in Spain, and what makes a good paella (it’s not actually the protein!). Had fun, drank sangria, shared with new friends!
This was to be the highlight of my wife's trip to Barcelona for our honeymoon. As instructed, we arrived 10 minutes before the class was supposed to start, however the door was closed. We rang the doorbell several times and reached out to the tour guide through Viator with no response. We contacted Viator who got a hold of the instructor and they weren't sure why their instructor hadn't shown up. They offered us to come back the next day, however we already had another trip booked and then were leaving the day after that. Highly disappointed as again this was to be the highlight of my wife's trip here.
家族で参加しました。パエリア、サングリア、タパスを作りましたが、それぞれの料理の歴史や背景までも知れて勉強になりました!また日本で売られている料理本やネット情報にはない作り方、一手間を教えて頂き良かったです。出来上がったパエリアのおいしさに感動!スペイン旅行中、一番おいしいパエリアでした。先生もにこやかで親切で素敵な方でした。またいつか習いに行きたいです。バルセロナ観光に行く方はぜひ行ってみて下さい。おススメです。 I participated with my family. We made paella, sangria, and tapas, and it was very educational to learn about the history and background of each dish! I was also glad to learn the cooking techniques and extra steps that aren't available in cookbooks or online information in Japan. I was blown away by how delicious the finished paella was! It was the best paella I had during my trip to Spain. The teacher was also friendly, kind, and wonderful. I would like to take another class someday. If you're planning on visiting Barcelona, I highly recommend it.
This experience was so cool and intimate. We had a small group and the instructor gives you the history of the importance of food and cooking the paella. You can just tell how passionate he is about the subject and what it means.
If I am able, I attend a cooking class every time I travel. This one was amazing. Our host accommodating gave us the historical background and significance of paella in Spanish culture and let us try our hand at making it. He made the process easy, informative and fun. Oh! we also made sangria and I left with a couple of new friends. Definitely recommend, if cooking classes are your thing.
Lots of fun making your dinner. And the sangria. I have done cooking classes in other countries and it’s always fun to learn how to make local dishes and the paella was very tasty.
This was an amazing experience! My teen daughters and I had a wonderful time learning about the cultural significance of making paella. The food was incredible and the instructor was passionate, knowledgeable and made the class an experience we won't forget.
Awesome! A passionate teacher, Eladi. He grew up with fresh fruits, herbs, vegetables, and makes pure simple flavors blossom! Five star chef, a joy, and I can't recommend it enough. I have taken many cooking classes, and love to do it, and I learned a ton. In addition, it's a charming beautiful neighborhood, which gives you a real feel
Teacher was knowledgeable and patient, he had us all participate and we learned a lot! Fun to end w a tasty dinner we made ourselves!
Amazing experience! It was a fabulous way to understand the Spanish Culture and how gastronomy is a societal achievement. Also I feel now finally capable to make paella myself! Moreover, it was delicious! Oh yes!
They canceled on me at the exact time the class was starting. I had already paid for an uber to get there so even though they reimbursed me for the cost of the class, I was out the money for the uber there and back.
I love to cook and frequently book a cooking class when we travel. This was by far one of the best ones I've ever done. The teacher had such passion for both cooking AND paella. I actually learned more at this than I've ever learned at a cooking class. It was very engaging. I highly recommend.
We had a very nice workshop. The host told a lot about the history of tapas, paella and sangria which was very nice to hear. We were allowed to help with the cutting of the ingredients and were well involved in the process. And most importantly: it was very tasty! The ingredients were very fresh. All in all a great night!!
Great experience to do with friends! We cooked in company with the master who was super! We learned so many things
