This was an INCREDIBLE experience. I booked a private class for 20 people and it was such a wonderful time! We HIGHLY recommend as a fun activity if you're in Barcelona! From getting the ingredients at La Boqueria, to drinking the delicious sangria and making seafood paella, I couldn't name a better way to spend time with people you love AND getting to know Spain!
Thank you GAB Lab!!!

One of the best experiences in Barcelona
Don’t miss this exceptional 3 hour cooking experience in Barcelona. Maria and Alberto were fantastic and enthusiastic culinary guides. Learn to make authentic paella and sangria amongst a small and intimate group.

you NEED to do this when you go to Barcelona!
My mom and I had the most amazing experience in this paella cooking class! We first went to the market, and Matteo showed us how to pick the best ingredients where our seafood paella, then we head back to the kitchen and prepared the paella with Maria. We also were able to eat some tapas and almond cake, as well as made our own sangria. Throughout this experience, Mateo walked us through the history of the culinary experience and we learned so much! They also gave us the recipes after so that we can try to re-create the dish at home. It was definitely a must when visiting Spain!

Great fun and great learning
We really enjoyed the class, and learnt a lot at the same time. Interestingly, we had paella later at a couple of restaurants and it was nowhere near as good as what we made in this class. I would recommend every visitor to Barcelona should attend the class.

We had an incredible hands-on paella cooking class at GAB LAB and couldn’t recommend it more. The experience was fun, relaxed, and genuinely educational—you’re involved in every step, not just watching from the sidelines.Matt and Alberto were both so helpful, knowledgeable, and approachable. They explained techniques clearly, shared great tips along the way, and made sure everyone felt confident and included. You could tell they truly love what they do, which made the whole class even more enjoyable.The paella turned out absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and engaging from start to finish. Whether you’re a confident home cook or a total beginner, this class is a fantastic experience. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!
