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!

Top! You can't do better! On to Alfonso and the World's Best Paella - An all-round perfect experience! Alfonso and Tim welcomed us warmly. Step by step, we learned how to prepare the paella, which we finally enjoyed on the roof terrace with a breathtaking view. We also had homemade sangria. We must say that Alfonso offers Barcelona's best recipe for paella! For us an unforgettable experience, therefore 10/10 points. An all around perfect experience!

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!

Outstanding Seafood Paella and Authentic Spanish cuisine - Excellent instructions and a wonderful dinner. Got to meet two very nice ladies who also wanted to experience Seafood Paella, Gazpacho, Sangria and outstanding dessert. Fun hosts and a beautiful venue (their apartment) with a breathtaking view of Barcelona port.

Must do in Barcelona - This small group cooking class was exactly what we were looking for. We loved the hospitality of Alfonso and his partner in their cozy, chic rooftop apartment. It felt like we were there for a dinner party. He walked us through all the ingredients needed to make seafood paella, white wine sangria, gazpacho, and Catalan crème. We helped with the prep of the chopping ingredients and then watched Alfonso do his magic with the paella on the rooftop. It ended up just being us and another couple so super intimate and we even got to meet their pets after, a really friendly dog and parrot. I’d highly recommend this experience! If we return, we’d love to try their tapas class in the morning.

Simply Perfect! - This was perfect. My mom and I went together. There was also two girlfriends that were there. It was a smaller intimate group which made it feel like you were just catching up with friends. Alfonso was such a fun and friendly host, felt like we had known him forever. The rooftop terrace was magical to say the least and the whole experience was simply perfect. I would totally recommend this!
