Guidekin's take

A 2h 30m paella show cooking session with olives, cheese, Iberian cold cuts, sangria and unlimited refills of the featured drinks at €37 per person.

You watch the chef rather than cook yourself, which keeps the price under the hands-on classes.

In our comparison: #17 of 19 in Food & Tapas Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
