Guidekin's take
A three hour paella class capped at twelve people, starting with a Boqueria market visit and built around a broth the school simmers for twenty hours, with free flowing sangria, cava and wine.
On Sundays and bank holidays the market is closed and you meet at the cooking school instead. 4.98 from 311 reviews.
In our comparison: #8 of 76 in Food & Tapas Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
5+ min late for market go directly to cooking school: Carrer del Notariat, 8, Ciutat Vella, 08001
*NO MARKET TOUR ON SUNDAYS AND BANK HOLIDAYS (Market Closed). Meet directly at cooking school
