Aside from food tours, another great way to learn about a region’s food is through cooking classes. In Spain, you can authentically learn how to cook paella in Madrid:
Cooking Point is Madrid’s first official cooking school for tourists. There are two classes, one for paella and one for tapas. The paella class also teaches you how to make sangria and gazpacho for a complete lunch.
Each class accommodates up to 12 people with 2 persons per stovetop. The small size allows for a more intimate learning experience so you can really learn how to make the dishes from your instructor.
