A private rooftop under the Giralda. Ten people, ninety minutes, your own paella.

Not at all. Most guests have never cooked paella before. Every ingredient is prepped, the chef shows each step before you do it, and he watches the rice with you — the paella you serve at the end is one you will be proud of.

A restaurant serves you paella. Here you cook it yourself on a private terrace under the Giralda, with a Sevillano explaining the dish and the city as you go — then you sit down to eat it at sunset. It replaces dinner, and it becomes the story of the trip.

It is the opposite of a mass tour: ten guests at most, a private terrace rather than a market stall or a classroom, and a local host who lives in Seville and cooks this dish at home.

Perfect. Choose the Group experience. Most people who join solo end up making friends.

Everything: ingredients, private rooftop, sangria, appetizers, a bilingual chef, photos, your recipe — and your meal. You cook your paella and then you eat it. The paella you make IS your meal. Between the appetizers, sangria, and a full paella, most guests leave completely satisfied. No dinner reservation needed after.

No. You cook a full paella and eat it on the rooftop. Add the welcome appetizers and artisan sangria and you have a complete evening. Most guests tell us it was one of the best meals of their trip.

Guests tell us it is. The cooking is the excuse; what people remember is the light on the Giralda, the soft flamenco, the table of new friends and the paella they made themselves.

In the group experience: no. In the private experience: yes — children aged 9 and over are welcome with their parents, which makes it a favourite for families.

Yes, every evening of the year. The start time follows the sunset, and the terrace has a canopy, so a mild winter evening is as good as a summer one.

Unfortunately not. The space is on the third floor with no elevator access.

Group: Shared with up to 10 people, specific day/time. Private: Exclusive for your group, flexible schedule.

Our rooftop cooking class runs every evening, year-round. The start time shifts with the season — roughly 17:30 in midwinter to 20:00 at midsummer — so you are always cooking in the good light. Check the booking calendar for the exact time on your date. For private bookings we can also open times outside the published hours on request. You cook paella at sunset with Cathedral views, enjoy sangria and appetizers, and share dinner with a small international group — an unforgettable Seville evening that replaces a restaurant reservation. See more things to do in Seville at night and beyond in our local guide.

Yes — it's a romantic, memorable Seville experience. You cook together at sunset on a private terrace with Cathedral views, then dine on the paella you made with artisan sangria. It's a favourite for anniversaries, honeymoons and special occasions.
