About this tour

Learn to build a proper paella from scratch in Málaga with a local English-speaking guide. This four-hour class walks you through selecting fresh market ingredients and mastering traditional techniques, then you'll sit down to eat what you've made. You'll leave with the skills to recreate the dish at home, plus our branded apron as a keepsake.

Highlights

  • Build paella using locally sourced ingredients and authentic spice blends
  • Four-hour hands-on session with English-speaking instruction
  • Eat your finished paella with wine, beer, or sangria
  • Take home a Kulinarea apron
  • Learn techniques you can replicate in your own kitchen

What to expect

You'll work alongside your guide in a kitchen setting, learning how to select and prepare each component of a traditional paella. Expect to handle the rice, proteins, and vegetables yourself, building confidence with each step. The guide will demonstrate proper technique and timing—particularly the critical final minutes when the rice develops its characteristic crust. Once cooking is done, you'll gather around a table to enjoy the full meal with your choice of drinks and light snacks, tasting the direct result of your labour.

Good to know

Not suitable for coeliacs or those with severe cross-contamination concerns. Also not recommended for vegans due to the meat and seafood focus of traditional paella. Arrive hungry. Public transport is accessible nearby if you're not arranging private pickup.
