About this tour
A 2.5-hour hands-on cooking class in Barcelona where you'll prepare Seafood Paella, Spanish Tortilla, and Chorizo in Cider under a chef's direction, then eat what you've made. You'll mix Sangría throughout the session with unlimited servings, and leave with printed recipes. Suits anyone keen to learn core Spanish dishes and eat lunch straightaway after.
Highlights
- Cook Seafood Paella, Spanish Tortilla, and Chorizo in Cider from scratch
- Mix and drink unlimited Sangría as you cook
- Sit down and eat all the dishes you've prepared
- Take home printed PDF recipes in English
- Apron and all cooking tools provided
- Vegan and coeliac options available on request
- Junior Sangría (non-alcoholic) option for younger participants
- Class runs 2.5 hours including prep, cooking, and lunch
What to expect
You'll arrive and be given an apron and briefed on the session's flow. The chef will walk you through each dish step by step — paella stock and seafood, tortilla technique, chorizo preparation — and you'll handle the chopping, stirring, and timing yourselves. Sangría mixing happens in parallel, with glasses topped up as you work. Once everything's cooked, you'll move to a shared table, plate up your dishes, and eat together with your Sangría.
The pace is relaxed; this isn't a race. The chef will adjust to your group's rhythm, and you'll have time to ask questions. After lunch wraps, you'll receive the recipe PDFs so you can recreate these dishes at home.
What travellers say
- Learn three core Spanish dishes in one session

- Vegan and coeliac options planned in advance
- Recipes sent home so skills aren't one-off
- Alcohol-heavy format may not suit all dietary or personal preferences
- 2.5 hours includes cooking and eating, so less hands-on time than longer classes

Good to know
This suits home cooks and food enthusiasts who want hands-on practice in a social setting, and anyone curious about Spanish cooking fundamentals. The class is alcohol-inclusive (unlimited Sangría), so factor that in if you need to drive or prefer non-alcoholic options — a Junior version is available. It's not a fitness-heavy experience, though you'll be standing and moving for 2.5 hours. Infants and small children can attend (prams welcome, specialist infant seats available), and vegan/coeliac diets are catered for if you request ahead. Public transport is accessible nearby. Lunch is included; no additional food costs.
