About this tour
A 90-minute private paella class on a Seville terrace where you'll cook an authentic chicken and vegetable paella with a local chef, then spend 30 minutes learning about the city's landmarks. You'll take home recipes, a gift, and the confidence to recreate the dish at home. Best suited to food enthusiasts wanting hands-on instruction in a small, intimate setting rather than a large group class.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the terrace and receive a welcome drink with appetisers. The chef will guide you through building the paella step by step — handling the rice, timing the saffron infusion, and adding chicken and vegetables — while explaining technique and flavour combinations. You'll learn how to balance heat and moisture, and the reasoning behind each stage. Once the paella is ready, you'll taste what you've made alongside the handcrafted sangria while the chef shares mixology insights.
After eating, you'll spend 30 minutes on a walking or seated tour of Seville's panoramic highlights and notable areas, with the chef pointing out key landmarks and sharing context about the city. You'll leave with printed recipes and a surprise gift, ready to recreate the experience elsewhere.

Good to know
This suits home cooks and entertaining enthusiasts who want to master a signature dish and understand Spanish culinary foundations. It's not a lecture — you're actively cooking, so comfort in a kitchen environment helps. The terrace setting means you're outdoors in Seville's climate; dress for the season and time of day. The 30-minute tour is a bonus cultural slot rather than a deep historical dive. The experience is private, so group size is typically small. Public transport is nearby if you're travelling without a car. Gratuities aren't included in the price but are at your discretion. No dietary restrictions or special requirements are mentioned in the listing — contact the operator directly if you need modifications.
