About this tour
A 2.5-hour cooking class at a private Costa del Sol villa where you'll prepare paella, tortilla and gazpacho from scratch, then sit down to eat what you've made with wine and water. Held in a spacious, sea-view villa rather than a commercial kitchen, you'll work in a small group and finish with a proper meal-tasting once all three dishes are ready. Vegetarian and halal options available.
Highlights
- Prepare paella, Spanish tortilla, and gazpacho in a private villa kitchen
- Sea views and relaxed, spacious setting on the Costa del Sol
- Sit down to eat everything you've cooked with included wine
- Vegetarian and halal menu options available with advance notice
- Water and wine provided throughout
- Small-group format in a privileged, private environment
What to expect
You'll arrive at the villa and move straight into the kitchen to begin preparing the three dishes. The instructor will guide you through paella technique, tortilla preparation, and gazpacho making — expect hands-on work with real ingredients and timing co-ordination since all three need to come together. Once everything is cooked, you'll move to the dining area to sit down and taste all three dishes together with wine and water included.
The session runs 2.5 hours total, structured around finishing the cooking and then eating as a group. The villa's sea views and private setting mean a relaxed pace rather than a crowded classroom feel.

Good to know
This works well for anyone wanting to learn core Spanish dishes in a hands-on, social setting without the atmosphere of a busy cooking school. You'll need to be comfortable standing and working at counter height for sustained periods; the listing advises against booking if you have spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or are pregnant. Notify the operator in advance if you have any dietary requirements beyond the standard vegetarian or halal options. The class is small-group, though exact numbers aren't specified. Hand sanitiser and distancing measures are in place. Don't attend if you have fever or Covid-19 symptoms.
