What to expect
Our class starts with a visit to Antón Martín Market, just 200 metres from the school, where we buy the fresh ingredients needed for the menu—vegetables, seafood, and other typical Spanish products.
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.

Angel, our chef was very fluent in English, pleasant in instructing and very knowledgeable. I recommend this 100% if you are in Madrid. My partner ans I loved this activity. We learned to make sangria, gazpacho and paella.
Highly recommended activity while in Madrid. Eduardo is very good. he brought us to the market and taught us to make sangria, Gazpacho and Paella! He also debunked many myths about paella! Thank you. Truly memorable!
it was a great class! we loved walking around the market and learning about the different foods we will be cooking with. You make your own Sangria, salad and Paella. then you get to eat it with everyone.
I had a fantastic experience! It is my first time doing a cooking class overseas, and it blew me out of the water. The chef is super funny and entertaining, and the instructions were pretty easy to follow. We made the best paella, sangria, and lettuce that I had on my trip. Highly recommended - I had a really amazing time :)
Awesome cooking experience! Angel was really friendly and we learnt so many new tips from him. In fact, the paella we cooked was the best on our entire Spain trip! A wonderful family activity for all ages. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience, love the interaction between the chef and the stall holders at the market. Chef gave us many tips how to make Gazpacho, paella & sangria. Taste fabulous.
Super fun! You can explore the market and learn about different ingredients in Spanish culture, their varieties, and how they're made... you can gain knowledge along the way. Every dish we made in the class was delicious, especially the Spanish rice. I think it was even better than what you get in restaurants. I had a very pleasant morning here. Even if you're going solo, it's no problem at all ❤️
