Back at the school, you’ll prepare your sangría and a seasonal starter: gazpacho in warmer months or a warm salad during cooler weather.
You’ll then cook your own paella, Spain’s most iconic dish, while our chef explains its origins, cultural importance, and shares practical tips.
After cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy your creations as lunch with your fellow cooks.
