“Key Takeaway: You get some secrets that will make your Paella even more tasty. :-) It gets high marks from the professional chef who is in our group. Me, my partner, sister-in-law (the chef), and mother-in-law took this class. It was casual, and homey, just as advertised. We had the chance to contribute to the meal prep, which was fun. The view and balcony was amazing -- we probably won't get a better view of the sunset in our time in Barcelona. I could hang out and drink sangria there all evening. Pro tip: bring your sunglassess if you take this in July; it was sunny! The most important thing…”
