About this tour
A 5-hour hands-on cooking class in a centuries-old Andalusian farmhouse where you'll learn to prepare traditional tapas alongside a local chef, then eat what you've made on a terrace with mountain views. You'll take home recipes and techniques for recreating these dishes at home, plus a three-course dinner featuring seafood, meat, and vegetarian options.
Highlights
- Cook tapas from scratch in a working farmhouse kitchen
- Learn authentic Andalusian recipes to recreate at home
- Three-course dinner on the terrace with mountain backdrop
- Small-group format with a practising local chef
- Mix of seafood, meat, and vegetarian dishes included
- Centuries-old setting with traditional Spanish cooking methods

What to expect
You'll arrive at the farmhouse kitchen and meet your chef instructor, who'll walk you through preparing 2–3 tapas dishes from the ground up. You'll handle the prep, cooking, and plating yourself under guidance, learning the reasoning behind technique and ingredient choices. Expect about 2–2.5 hours of active cooking, with the chef demonstrating each stage and answering questions as you work.
Once cooking is done, you'll move to the terrace for dinner. A three-course meal follows—the tapas you've made, plus locally sourced seafood and meat dishes, with vegetarian options available. You'll eat at a relaxed pace, take photos, and chat with the chef and other guests. The class wraps up after dinner; you'll leave with written recipes and the confidence to repeat what you've learned.

Good to know
This suits home cooks keen to learn Spanish cooking fundamentals without needing restaurant experience, and anyone curious about Andalusian food culture. It's also good for small groups or couples wanting a social, active experience rather than a lecture-style demo. Caveats: the 5-hour duration includes cooking and dining, so it's an evening commitment. No fitness barriers, but expect to be on your feet for 2+ hours in the kitchen. The farmhouse setting is charming but may involve uneven terrain or rustic facilities—confirm accessibility needs in advance. Notify the chef of allergies or dietary restrictions when booking; the menu accommodates vegetarians but may be limited for strict diets. Weather on the terrace can affect comfort, particularly in summer or rain. Group size is typically small (likely 6–8 guests max, though not stated). Dinner and recipes are included; wine or drinks may incur extra cost.
