Our take
10-tapas cooking class taught by A Punto Cooking School, a well-regarded cooking school in central Madrid (Calle de la Farmacia 6, next to Chueca). Solid validation on Viator: 4.8 out of 5 across 145 reviews. Real reviews highlight teacher Rosa as excellent. Price: €74 for 2h30. Confirmed recipes: Spanish tortilla, brochetas de Gilda, calamari sandwich (bocadillo de calamares), patatas bravas and sangria — classics of the Madrid and Spanish repertoire. What's worth knowing. CRITICAL NOTICE: the class is delivered ONLY in English according to current Viator info. If you don't handle English comfortably, this isn't your option. Another logistical quirk: the class is NOT inside the main building at Calle Farmacia 6 — you access through a green door on the right of the building and ring the bell if it's closed. Start time: 4:00pm. The 10-tapas format means variety over depth — each dish gets enough time but without the depth of a monographic paella workshop. Who it's for: travellers with strong English wanting a broad panorama of Spanish cuisine at a recognised school (A Punto), foodies prioritising variety and structured learning, couples preferring tapas over paella. Who it's NOT for: travellers without strong English (class not offered in Spanish), those wanting to master a single recipe in depth (better a paella workshop), travellers with multiple allergies without prior notice, and those needing accessibility without prior verification.
