Arantxa made this one of our family’s best tours ever! It is so much more than cooking class. She shared personal stories and experiences that made us feel like longtime friends. Her recipes were delicious, the space was gorgeous and I appreciated the attention and accommodations for my gluten free son! Don’t miss this and request Arantxa! You won’t be disappointed.

Arantxa was an absolute delight!<br /><br />She’s an incredibly fun, enthusiastic, and talented chef who made our paella cooking class unforgettable. We started with a lively visit to the local market, where she guided us through the stalls as we picked out fresh ingredients together. Back in the kitchen, the real fun began—cooking, laughing, and learning along the way.<br /><br />What really elevated the experience was how Arantxa thoughtfully paired perfect wines and drinks with each dish. It wasn’t just about cooking and eating; it felt like a complete, indulgent experience!<br /><br />We had the best time and can’t recommend this class highly enough—whether you’re going as a couple, with friends, or even with people you’ve just met. It’s fantastic value for money and we’d happily do it again in a heartbeat. 100% worth it!
