★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,661 reviews · 3 hours · from $85Our pick

Cook seafood paella, tapas, and sangria after shopping Barcelona’s Boqueria Market with a chef in this lively three-hour class.

“We had a great time with our chefs and the other guests. The market was colorful and engaging. I was grateful the market vendor prepared the squid for us. I did that once 40 years ago and I had hoped it would be a last time, thankfully it was. When we got to the kitchen we all got busy chopping, stirring, drinking sangria and eating. We love to cook so this was incredibly fun for us.”

“Amazing experience from start to finish, Benny was an amazing host with his assistant Claudia. The way he explained and showed us how to make the Paella was easy and simple & like he said just have all your prep done ahead of time. The dish was amazing and everyone else’s also. The downstairs dinning table was everything and more . You’re not just cooking a Paella you also having a sit down dinner with your classmates with appetizers and dessert. I would definitely love Benny to have also another option to learn so I can come back to another class.”

Cook paella, tapas, gazpacho, and dessert in Seville’s Triana Market with a chef, drinks, dinner, and new friends.

“Our cooking glass was in a beautiful market location. During the class you can taste multiple different foods, which all were great. The group size was good - only 10 people, which is a perfect size. I would say it is more a collective cooking class, where everyone gets to do some small part and mainly observe. Food was great, drinks were shared and later we also got the recipes on the email.”

“My husband and I did the cooking class and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Seville. The marketplace setting and cooking were the perfect ambiance and we enjoyed everything about the class. Our instructors were wonderful and guided us in every step. The meal at the end was divine and extra special knowing we had prepared it with our own hands with the freshest ingredients. I would highly recommend this class if you are looking for a way to spend a good 3 hours one day.”

Our host/chef was very friendly and entertaining and the food was all phenomenal. I am an experienced cook and I learned quite a few new things from this afternoon. Highly recommend!”
