About Málaga Paella Cooking Classs
A paella cooking class in Málaga is hands-on from the start: you build the sofrito, add the stock and rice, and learn why the pan must never be stirred once the simmer starts.
You eat what you cook — and paella portions are generous. Come hungry and bring your appetite for debate about what belongs in it.

"very nice cooking class. well prepared. nice guide, and a lot of Sangria;) I can highly recommend this activity!"
"Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed this activity. Food was delicious - Soup, Salad, Paella and a refreshing drink for dessert, washed down with lots of Sangria. Laura was a fantastic host. This was a great activity if you want to try something a little different from the usual walking / food tours."
"My husband really wanted to take this class so naturally I was all in too. It was fun, the chef was great and very interactive with us. He had a lot of great tips regarding the ingredients and gave us some history of cooking in Spain. We all took part chopping and the actual cooking of the paella. We could take pics and videos as we wished and he got pics of my husband and I together. The meal was delicious and of course the sangria! After class, we ran around trying to find saffron to take home as it’s less expensive here in Malaga. We scored !! We are going to make the meal for our friends!! Chef Gave us all the recipes!"
"Absolutely brilliant! Diego was really friendly, helpful and full of great tips, which he shared with the group. There was loads of absolutely delicious food to eat so don’t make the same mistake as us and eat breakfast before you go (11 a.m.). There was plenty to drink too. We were on a cruise and in port all day and there was plenty of time to wander around Malaga afterwards. Thank you for a great experience! Sue & Andrew"
