Cook paella yourself, then sit down to eat it

Paella comes from Valencia, but Madrid has adopted it. A chef teaches the sofrito, the rice-to-stock ratio and the socarrat crust, with everyone cooking.

You make sangria too, then sit down together to eat what you cooked. The chef adapts to beginners and keen cooks alike.
