Your cooking class includes an apron, all ingredients, sangria and olives to enjoy while you cook, and a meal of the dishes you have prepared. You will get two extra drinks with your meal.

Prepare a starter, either salmorejo (chilled tomato soup) or gazpacho, with typical tapas. Tapas include spinach with chickpeas, huevos a la flamenca and Spanish omelet. Then prepare an authentic paella as main course and a light lemon sorbet dessert with Cava.

It will be a jovial session as Sangria will be served while you get to know the rest of your cooking group. In the end, sit down and enjoy the Spanish food you have prepared with two additional drinks.
