What to expect
The experience kicks off at the market, where your chef points out quality ingredients and explains what makes each component essential. Back in the kitchen, you'll handle the pan yourself—chopping, stirring, timing the rice—while picking up the tricks that separate a good paella from a great one. Between cooking stages, you'll blend and taste your own sangria. Midway through, tapas arrive to nibble on. By the end, you've plated up a finished dish, tried a Spanish dessert, and chatted with travellers from elsewhere doing the same thing. Everything is fresh, so allergies and dietary preferences are sorted at the start.
Good to know
The market closes Sundays and public holidays, so the tour is unavailable those days. Minimum age for alcohol is 18. The space is fully wheelchair accessible. All ingredients are prepared fresh, so inform the team of any allergies upfront. Gratuities are optional.
