Fantastic trip, highly recommended! - Today we had the pleasure of joing a paella and tapas cooking class in Madrid with our guide and chef, Daniel, which included a visit to a local market too. We learned about the Spanish culture, food, way of life and made Paella 🥘 patatas bravas and croquettes! Daniel has great energy and is engaging, warm and friendly. There was a lovely group of 10 of us from all over - UK, America, Italy, France and Venezuela, but we all had time to get stuck in, making, sampling and eating the delicious food! My husband and I are in Madrid for 5 days, and this was the tour I was looking forward to the most - it did not disappoint! Thank you Daniel for the best experience in Madrid which we will remember forever! Also thank you to Lauri, a lovely assistant working with Daniel who kept our water topped up and plates cleaned away throughout, without us asking for more. Extra tips: - You won't need breakfast before this experience! - There are a few steps to climb - Perfect for solo travellers too - If you can't finish all the paella or croquettes, you can take some away in a plastic box they give you. - There are toilets - Our trip was the day trip 10:30am-2:30pm
