Join Lola for a hands-on Spanish cooking class in Madrid and learn to prepare some of Spain’s most beloved dishes. Discover the secrets behind traditional tapas and paella as Lola guides you through 2–3 recipes, sharing cooking tips and insights into Spanish food traditions along the way. Once everything is ready, sit down with your fellow travelers to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared together, accompanied by Spanish wine, beer or soft drinks. Immerse yourself in an exclusive, unique and super fun tapas and paella cooking class guided by a professional chef passionate about Spanish culture and cuisine. In your shared Madrid cooking class you will learn to cook ham croquettes, black rice (paella), Russian salad, and "ajoarriero style" cod in a cozy gastronomic space, conveniently located just 2 minutes from Pacífico metro station, line 1. The cooking studio has a large, open and modern kitchen with enough space for everyone to cook at the same time and participate actively. In addition to cooking, you will taste each of your creations while enjoying some good wines. No prior cooking knowledge is necessary, just bring a lot of enthusiasm, and an appetite to learn!
