Begin your day with a scenic drive from Madrid to a charming village, nestled in the Spanish countryside. Upon arrival, embark on a serene 1-hour walk along the river and through the countryside, taking in the breathtaking views of the olive groves and surrounding landscape.

Next, head to a picturesque location right below a 10th-century castle, at the top of a beautiful unspoiled village surrounded by olive groves, for your cooking class. Learn how to cook paella the traditional way, over a wood-burning fire, using fresh, local ingredients.

Prepare a Spanish omelet using farm-fresh eggs, and make a delicious sangria using locally sourced and foraged ingredients. Enjoy clear instructions from a native English-speaking teacher, or feel free to just watch the cooking class while sipping sangria.

After the class, savor the dishes you’ve prepared in a spectacular outdoor setting. Take home both ingredient cooking recipe cards and lifelong memories of unspoiled Spain.
