Seville · SEVILLE COOKING CLASSES
Paella done properly, salmorejo that is not gazpacho, and the tortilla argument settled. The 15 classes below are compared on how much you cook rather than watch, and which ones start at the market.
Join an English-speaking chef at Taller Andaluz de Cocina in Triana Market for three hours of hands-on Spanish cooking. You’ll prepare gazpacho or salmorejo, tapas, chicken paella, and lemon sorbet with Cava, then eat together with sangria and two extra drinks.
“I had a great time! The food was delicious and the wine was flowing. Well worth it”
Meet your guide at Triana Market, tour its food stalls, then cook salmorejo, spinach with chickpeas, paella, and dessert with a local chef. The 16-person class includes sangria, two meal-time drinks, utensils, and recipes to take home.
“Great exposure to Spanish and Sevilla’s spices, history of dishes. Going to the market was exciting and educational, Hands on food preparation was so much fun. The food was amazing.”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Triana Market, learn about local ingredients, then cook salmorejo, spinach with chickpeas, Valencian paella, and dessert with a professional chef. Guides such as Ana, Dom, Leo, Maria, and Sabrina bring humor and practical instruction to the class.
“I absolutely loved this experience! The market tour was so interesting, and I learnt so much about Spanish products. The cooking class was perfectly balanced with just the right mix of demonstration and hands-on participation. Best of all, we got to enjoy the dishes we prepared—and they were delicious! There was so much food, plus sangria and a refreshing lemon mint dessert to finish. A fantastic activity all round.”
Meet your English-speaking chef at Mercado de Triana at 6 p.m. for a three-hour, chef-led cooking class. You will prepare Spanish dishes such as salmorejo, spinach with chickpeas, and chicken-and-vegetable paella, drink homemade sangria, and eat the meal you make.
“Wonderful experience fo learn about local cuisine as well as the proper way to prepare it. The food was delicious and very clear instructions”
Join chef Fernando of Paella Legacy for a small-group rooftop cooking class in central Seville. You will prepare chicken and vegetable paella, taste overnight-marinated sangria, enjoy cathedral views at sunset, ask local questions, and take home recipes plus a keepsake.
“The views were unbelievable and the paella was very good. This tour was a bit more expensive than other tours we booked in Spain but was a very unique experience. The rooftop views are so unique. Tour happened at sunset so you got to enjoy both the day time and night time views of the city scape and the cathedral. Really breathtaking. Paella was very good. Nice learning experience. Great way to have a unique view point and a great dinner.”
Watch Fabio or Lucia prepare traditional paella while you taste Andalusian wine, olives, cheese, Iberian chacina, and fresh sangria. You’ll learn cooking tips and paella traditions, then eat the finished dish, with some sessions ending on a rooftop terrace overlooking Seville.
“Amazing class with Lucia she was very through. She offered history of Paella traditions while aroma floated through out the room. Food was delicious, big portions and family friendly.”
Watch chefs such as Fabio, Antonio, or Miguel prepare paella while explaining its ingredients, origins, spices, and broth. You’ll enjoy olives, cheese, cured meat, wine, beer, soft drinks, and sangria, then eat on a rooftop overlooking Seville. This is a demonstration, not a hands-on class.
“Fun Class and learned alot about Paella. Antonio was great. Hospitality was great during the class, with great wines, beer and charcuterie. View from the top of the building was awesome and the Paella was delicious.”
Spend about four hours at La Terraza del Cristina in central Seville, tasting four sangrias before watching chef Antonio prepare paella. Enjoy Iberian sausage, cheese, olives, unlimited drinks, and rooftop views. This is a demonstration, not a hands-on cooking class.
“Not exactly what we were hoping for. The paella cooking demonstration and explanation was good but the paella ended up pretty darn salty. It was advertised as all you can drink but limited on the host seeing your empty glass. When the food was served there was nothing to drink. Most at our table just picked at the food and were finally given a glass of Sangria just before leaving. All in all better off saving your money.”
Join chefs such as Fabio or Antonio for a 2.5-hour paella show in Seville. Watch the dish made from scratch, taste olives, cheese, and Iberian sausage, then eat paella with sangría on a rooftop overlooking the Guadalquivir and Torre del Oro.
“Unique experience learning the secrets behind preparing an authentic Spanish dish!! After we watched the fish being made we got to enjoy it on a rooftop terrace over looking Seville.”
Join an English-speaking chef such as Fabio, Lucia, or Antonio for a 2.5-hour paella demonstration in Seville. Sample olives, cheese, Iberian chacina, wine, and sangria, then eat the finished dish with views that may include the Golden Tower.
“This was an excellent way of spending a few hours in Seville Miguel was very informative & produced an amazing SeaFood 🥘 paella 😄”
In central Seville, an English-speaking chef such as Antonio, Fabio, or Lucia demonstrates paella while you enjoy wine, appetizers, sangria, and unlimited beer, soft drinks, and water. You watch rather than cook, then sit down to a generous paella meal in a lively restaurant setting.
“A lovely evening, Fabio explained the process on how to make authentic Paella. I had brought my husband and son to this event and we all really enjoyed it. The paella dish was very tasty indeed. Would highly recommend.”
At La Terraza del Cristina, you’ll begin with two appetizers before a freshly prepared paella arrives at your table. The rooftop setting faces the Torre del Oro, and an elevator makes access easier. Drinks cost 5 euros each, while a paella cooking demonstration may be available as an extra.
“Een dag van te voeren krijgen wij een e-mail dat de starttijd van de Paella Dining Experience was vervroegd. Er werd aangegeven dat wij extra geld moest betalen voor 'the experience' over hoe Paella gemaakt werd en de historie daarvan. Bij het bestellen van dit evenement was dit niet aangegeven. Uiteindelijk hebben wij 42,00 euro per persoon betaald voor een bord (koude) Paella, zonder enige ervaring over het maken van Paella. Wij hebben op het dakterras gegeten met koude temperaturen (geen heater), slecht belichting en waardeloze benadering door de gids. Al met al hebben wij hier een hele slechte ervaring gehad.”
Settle into a private boat in Triana for a 1.5-hour Guadalquivir cruise with paella, starters, dessert, two drinks per person, and your choice of music. Skippers such as Paul and David point out Seville sights and share local stories. The meeting point is near Triana Bridge.
“The private boat ride was lovely way to spend my anniversary with my partner. The food and drinks provided were great with options for different menus. The skipper David was really nice and even pointed out a few tourist sites along the river. Only critique was that the meeting point given was not the exact location so we had to walk around for a bit and contact Paul to figure out where we needed to be. He was really helpful as well as easy to contact. Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience :)”
Join Annette and Jose in their Seville home for a private, hands-on Spanish cooking class. Prepare two or three family dishes, enjoy olives and wine, and sit down to a three-course meal. Vegetarian and other dietary needs can be arranged in advance.
“What a wonderful way to spend our first evening in Seville! Annette and Jose were gracious hosts and opened up their home to us and help us learn to cook a scrumptious traditional Spanish meal. The lamb was some of the best we ever had! Highly recommend if you want to be treated like friends and not tourists!”
Meet at La Terraza del Cristina on Paseo de las Delicias at 6:30 pm for a rooftop dinner in Seville. You’ll be welcomed to your table, order drinks, enjoy local cheese and olives, and finish with freshly prepared paella. Some sessions include a cooking demonstration by Antonio.
“Really enjoyed this experience, authentically cooked paella, tapas, lovely wines, Sherry. A fabulous evening with roof top views. I would recommend”
