What to expect

You'll arrive at the outdoor venue in Mutxamel and start with a welcome aperitif and drink to settle in. The instructor will then guide you through preparing three starters and an authentic paella, breaking down techniques step by step so anyone can follow along. There's no assumption of prior skill — the recipes are accessible, though you'll learn genuine traditional methods.

Once the cooking is done, you'll sit down together as a group and eat everything you've made for lunch, with wine and beer available throughout. The whole experience runs about 3.5 hours, mixing active cooking time with eating and socialising.

Good to know

This suits home cooks keen to master Spanish classics without needing restaurant experience, and groups of friends or couples wanting a social, hands-on activity. It's also a solid pick if you want to learn recipes you'll actually cook again at home. The venue is outdoors, so weather in Mutxamel matters — check conditions beforehand. Groups stay small (max 8), so book early if a specific date appeals. Let the organiser know in advance about any allergies or dietary requirements so they can adapt. Public transport is nearby if you're not driving. The full address comes on your confirmation voucher, so you won't know the exact location until booking is locked in.
