Learn to Make an Authentic Paella!

About this tour

Learn to cook an authentic Valencian paella in Madrid's Chueca neighbourhood during this two-and-a-half-hour cooking class. Start with Spanish sangria or Rioja wine, then build skills by preparing tortilla española before moving to the centrepiece: paella made with traditional Valencian ingredients and techniques passed down through the instructor's family. You'll cook, chat, and sit down to eat what you've made.

What to expect

You'll arrive in Chueca and begin with a drink—choose from sangria, Rioja wine, beer, or soft drinks. The instructor will walk you through making tortilla española, Spain's classic potato and egg tapa, which serves as your warm-up. Then you'll move to the main event: building paella from scratch using authentic Valencian products and methods. Expect hands-on work, relaxed conversation, and real instruction rather than theatre. Once the paella finishes cooking, you'll all sit together to eat it.
