Great Cooking Experience - This was a lovely opportunity to learn about Spanish meal traditions. We learned to make seafood and meat paella, Gazpacho and traditional White sangria. We were a small group on a very chilly evening so we cooked and indoors Alfonso and Txema were excellent hosts. I highly recommend

Don’t hesitate—this will be the best paella of your life! - If you're looking for an unforgettable culinary experience in Barcelona, this paella-making class with a retired chef is a must. Hosted in their home, the class offers a warm and personalized touch that sets it apart from any other cooking experience in Spain. From the refreshing gazpacho to the rich, perfectly cooked paella, every dish tasted amazing.The homemade sangria and delightful dessert only added to the magic of the evening. We were walked through every step of the way including tips and tricks on how to enhance or modify each recipie to your liking when you recreate these recipes at home. Our host was incredibly welcoming, sharing stories about traditional Spanish cuisine. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, making it perfect for food lovers of all skill levels. If you want to learn the art of paella while enjoying an amazing meal and great company, this is the experience for you.

Delicious and fun night of Spanish culture - For my daughter (grown) and myself, this was one of our favorite experiences while in Barcelona. This did not feel like an average cooking class! After much research and lots of reading reviews, we chose this class and went to the lovely home of Alfonso and Txema, who were generous and so genuine. They made us feel like old friends at an intimate dinner party. The paella, gazpacho, and sangria were truly outstanding, and the views of the sunset were spectacular from the rooftop deck. They left us with full recipes and as an extra bonus, gave us great restaurant recommendations for an upcoming trip we were taking (which we used and were not disappointed). We won’t forget this night and so thankful we got to have such a great evening with these 2 wonderful souls!

A great experience - We had a lovely evening with Alfonso and Txema. It was especially nice to spend a little time learning new recipes in a beautiful home looking out over the marina. It was raining on our evening so we got a look at the rooftop terrace where class is usually held. Their large kitchen made a great substitute. We highly recommend this class, it was fun, informative and a memorable activity and you will definitely not go home hungry!!

A must-do when visiting Barcelona! - An enjoyable evening with a delicious paella dinner and a welcoming host. Guests participated in preparing the paella and sangria ingredients and Alphonso did the cooking. We ate on Alphonso's deck as the sun was setting. What a beautiful view! After dinner, Alphonso served Catalan Cream for dessert. We received recipes by email the following day.

Warm Engaging Delicious cooking class, a once in a lifetime experience - We had an unforgettable experience at the rooftop paella cooking class, starting with prep in a stunning condo overlooking the Port. As we sipped on Cava, Chef Alfonso introduced us to the steps behind making some of Spain's most iconic dishes: gazpacho, sangria, and of course, paella. Alfonso's warm and engaging personality made us feel welcomed, and his perfect description of each process made the experience both informative and fun. His assistant was equally friendly, adding to the overall warmth of the evening. The cooking took place on a beautiful outdoor terrace surrounded by greenery, which created the perfect setting. Alfonso explained each step in detail while cooking the paella, making it easy to follow and appreciate the craft behind it. When it was time to enjoy the meal, we sat down for a delicious dinner filled with great conversation. Sharing this memorable evening with my wife made it truly special. I’ll never forget this amazing experience!
