About this tour
A 4-hour hands-on paella cooking class in Málaga where you'll prepare an authentic Spanish paella using fresh local ingredients and traditional methods, then eat what you've made. Suited to anyone wanting to learn a specific dish rather than broad cooking skills, with an English-speaking guide and all ingredients provided. You'll take home a branded apron as a keepsake.
Highlights
- Make paella from scratch with fresh, locally sourced ingredients
- Learn traditional Spanish cooking techniques and spice use
- Eat your finished paella as part of the class
- Wine, beer, and sangria included throughout
- Take-home Kulinarea apron as a souvenir
- English-speaking instruction
- Snacks provided alongside your main meal
What to expect
You'll arrive and be fitted with an apron, then the guide will walk you through paella-making step by step using fresh ingredients prepared in advance. You'll handle the cooking yourself — handling rice, broth, seafood or meat, and spices — whilst the guide demonstrates proper technique and timing. The class builds toward a single finished paella (likely shared between participants or in small groups).
Once cooked, you'll sit down to eat your creation alongside bread, snacks, and a choice of wine, beer, or sangria. The apron is yours to keep at the end. Total time is roughly 4 hours, so factor in setup, cooking, and a leisurely meal.

Good to know
This suits anyone who wants to learn a specific, iconic dish rather than broad kitchen skills, and works well for couples, small groups, or solo travellers. It's a good fit if you enjoy hands-on food experiences and eat paella-friendly diets (see below). Not suitable for vegans or anyone with coeliac disease or severe cross-contamination allergies — the class uses traditional meat and seafood preparations with no separate vegan option mentioned. Infants and small children can attend if brought in a pram or stroller, though a 4-hour class may test patience. Public transport reaches the venue; private transfers aren't included. Come with an appetite — you'll eat what you cook.
