First, you will start with a quick visit to the world-famous La Boqueria market, where your chef will show you how to spot fresh products. After shopping, head back to the GAB LAB (our test kitchen and dining room), where you will taste some seasonal tapas and participate in a Sangria-making class. Then put on your apron as you join the chef in a fun interactive paella class where you will learn the history and secrets of this famous dish. Afterwards enjoy your paella with your new friends and family. Following the experience, you will be provided with a copy of all the recipes, so that you can do it again at home.
*** PLEASE NOTE- The market is closed EVERY SUNDAY and on public holidays. Our class typically does run on these days and outside of these hours.
*** Our 21:15 Spanish Dinner Class does NOT include a visit to the market.
*** The market is home to numerous individual vendors, who operate on their own hours, generally opening from 08:00 to around 20:30 PM. Given the market's lively atmosphere, occasional chaos and peak times, we may decide to focus on the immersive culinary experience without the added hustle and bustle of navigating through the crowded market stalls.

3 fun filled hours of cooking lesson, making and drinking Sangria and eating the paella that Simon taught us how to make.
We laughed a lot and it became a wonderful social night.

What a fabulous time we had with our chef Hugo. He first took us to the boqueria market to pick out fresh fish.
Then we were given tapas and learned how to make sangria.
We then all helped to make the paella. It was so fresh and delicious. We then learned how to make a delicious light and airy dessert.
My only regret is I forgot to take the recipes with me. Can someone from the company please email me the recipes so I can make them at home? We were at the april 26th 6pm class with Hugo. My email address is gelato13@verizon.net
Hugo was great. We were a fun group and it was a very fun 3 hours. Highly recommend!!

Before you go anywhere else for paella in Spain, come here! The food and instruction were equally fantastic—you’ll learn how to make paella along with what to look for in the other paella. A wonderful evening!
