This Paella cooking class is the absolute best! You don't want to miss out on experiencing the cozy/friendly atmosphere in this opportunity to discover the secrets of making a true Paella. From being taught how to pick the freshest seafood directly in La Boqueria, to preparing the said seafood with special care and safety tips, to understanding each step and participating in each of these, the experience was complete with sharing a beautiful meal of a scrumptious paella , actually the best I have had! Hugo was very laid back, took care of everyone, and taugh us well. A true highlight in my trip!

Une des plus belles activités culinaires que j’ai faite! Hugo a été un professeur extraordinaire et très professionnel accompagné d’humour! J’ai bien choisir et préparer un calmar entier, des crevettes fraîches et des moules. Merci à Hugo et Bettiya pour ce merveilleux moment en votre compagnie !
