Paella Day Cooking Class Savor the Tradition

About this tour

Master the art of Mallorcan paella in a six-hour hands-on class set in the hilltop village of Banyalbufar. Work alongside a local cook who learnt the craft from her grandmothers, learning every technique needed to build genuine flavour—whether you're after the traditional seafood version, meat, or vegetarian. Cook in a mountain-facing kitchen garden at Ca Tothom, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside drinks and local fare.

What to expect

You'll arrive at Ca Tothom, a working home and farm in the Tramuntana foothills, where the kitchen sits on an open porch overlooking the garden. Your host walks you through each stage—stock, rice, seasoning, timing—sharing practical shortcuts her grandmothers taught her. You'll handle the pan yourself, making real decisions about heat and ingredient layering. Midway through, take a break with coffee, tea, or a cold drink. Once the paella's ready, you'll gather at a shared table to eat it fresh, with wine, water, and local snacks provided. Expect flour on your clothes and genuine hunger by the end.
