Great experience making the paella and enjoying a wonderful meal
This an AMAZING experience!!! From the chef, sous chef, shopping for ingredients, to the cooking, this is a MUST DO when you are in Barcelona!! Chef Andreas and Antonio were great!!!
I really enjoyed this cooking class in Barcelona! The teacher was very friendly, patient, and welcoming, which made the whole experience relaxing and fun. I especially enjoyed learning how to make traditional Spanish paella step by step. It was interesting to learn about the ingredients, the cooking process, and some local food culture at the same time. The class was not only educational but also very enjoyable, and I had a great time cooking and sharing the food with everyone. It was definitely one of the fun experiences during my stay in Barcelona. If you are visiting Barcelona and want to try something different from sightseeing, I highly recommend joining this cooking class. It is a great way to experience Spanish culture and create a special travel memory!
Andreas and Gaby did a wonderful job demonstrating how to select seafood at the market and leading a diverse group through the preparation of a wonderful paella meal. An Sangria! Highly recommend!
This was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona! Hugo and Lorenzo were absolutely wonderful and made the entire experience so memorable. The class was small, only eight people total, which we loved. It was us and three other couples from Norway, London, and Germany, so it felt intimate and personal rather than like a typical large tour. The entire experience was incredibly well done. It was structured and organized, but at the same time felt very natural, relaxed, and organic. We started with a visit to the market, which was such a great experience on its own. Hugo and Lorenzo were engaging and educational throughout, and we learned so much without it ever feeling like a formal lesson. The cooking portion was just as wonderful. The kitchen was clean, cozy, and welcoming, and everyone was able to participate. We made our own sangria, which was amazing, and the paella we made was by far the best paella we had during our entire trip to Barcelona! What really made the experience stand out was the atmosphere. It felt less like a tourist activity and more like spending an afternoon cooking, eating, drinking, and getting to know new people. Everything flowed so naturally, and Hugo and Lorenzo were fantastic hosts. We absolutely loved it and would recommend this experience without hesitation. If you’re visiting Barcelona and want something that’s fun, authentic, educational, and personal, this is a must-do!
The paella cooking class was very fun and hands-on. Our instructor Gaby was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the process and all the ingredients. I enjoyed learning about all the different seafood, how to prepare it, and the origins of the paella dish. Making sangria and tasting the tapas were the cherries on top! Highly recommend the GAB lab :)

We had the best experience and had the opportunity to make and sample sangria and paella. This was one of the highlights of our vacation. The leader of this course named Ianto made the experience special. This is worth doing if you’re in the Barcelona area.
Brilliant experience from start to finish. Enjoyable, educative and loads of fun! The end result was a delicious meal and heaps of laughter
Fantastic morning with our chefs Nestar and Alphonso. It was great fun, my 11 year old daughter loved it. She made chicken paella and I joined the seafood team. Great atmosphere, very relaxed and a lovely lunch with other the addition of sangria and cake. Definitely recommend. Thank you team.
