The market tour and paella cooking class with Arantxa was excellent. We were a small group so all had a chance to participate , the class was held in an attractive space and we had a great hands on class learning 4 different dishes. Aramtxa demonstrated and explained very clearly - and we received all the recipes and tips by email later. One of the highlights of my Madrid trip - highly recommend.

Danny was so enthusiastic about Spanish food and included everyone in the process with his humor, knowledge and obvious enjoyment of people. It was our first cooking class and our granddaughter, who wants to be a chef, was really mesmorized by the experience. She is now at home, working on croquettes and paella--in the new pan that we sent her and the safron and smoking (only) hot paprika, we took home. It was a great experience all around. Thank you Danny!!

Our cooking class in Madrid with Andrea was great fun! We met other travelers from around the world, learned how to make classic Spanish dishes and their history, and ate the delicious results! We enjoyed the trip to the market and the beautiful space where we all participated in making our lunch. Highly recommend this as a great way to go deeper in your experience of this magical city!
