Recommended - Great experience! Our chef Arantxa gave not only an informative cooking class on paella and tapas, but also an insight into life in Spain.

Cooking with Arantxa and our kids - Our family had so much fun, Arantxa was a great chef and guide, teaching us all how to make paella, selecting foods from the adorable market, and the private room at Ferretero where we cooked everything was immaculate. We have kids that are 15, 13, and 11 and they all got to enjoy cooking with Arantxa.
