About this tour

Learn to cook paella from a professional chef in Sitges over three hours, working in a traditional Spanish kitchen garden with open fire. You'll master ingredient selection, proportions, and technique while sipping local wine and sangria, then taste your creation alongside tapas. This hands-on class reveals the dish's backstory and regional traditions through practical cooking rather than lecture.

What to expect

You'll arrive at the chef's studio garden and begin by understanding paella's origins and why certain ingredients matter. The chef walks you through selecting quality rice, saffron, and proteins, then you'll prep and cook together at a communal family table. Work with the open fire and traditional methods—not classroom theory. As your paella develops, you'll taste regional wines and sangria. Once cooked, sit down to eat what you've made with complementary tapas, sharing the meal and stories with fellow participants.
