Palma de Mallorca: Spanish Cooking Class & 7-Course Meal

Summary

Spanish cooking class in Palma with chef-led Mediterranean fusion, 7 dishes and drinks included

You’ll roll up your sleeves in Palma de Mallorca for a lively Spanish cooking class led by locals—think flipping tortillas, prepping fresh ceviche, and sharing laughs over seafood paella. With seven Mediterranean-inspired dishes, an open bar, and plenty of stories from your chef, you’ll leave full—in every sense.

What’s the experience like?

I thought I knew what Spanish food was—until we found ourselves in this little kitchen in Palma de Mallorca, sleeves rolled up, laughing at our attempts to flip tortillas without making a mess. The local chef (I think her name was Marta?) had this way of telling stories about every dish—like how her grandmother used to argue about the “right” onions for tortilla española. The place smelled like olive oil and something citrusy I couldn’t quite place. Maybe it was the ceviche prep? Anyway, it felt instantly welcoming, not stiff or formal at all.

We started with the Spanish tortilla (I probably overcooked mine but nobody cared), then got our hands on this wild ceviche—Mediterranean flavors with a twist from Peru. I tried to pronounce “chistorra al sake” and pretty much butchered it; Marta just laughed and poured us another glass of wine. There was always music playing low in the background—something upbeat but not distracting. The seafood paella took the longest, but waiting around that big pan gave everyone time to chat and sneak sips from the open bar. I still remember the smell of saffron rising up as she lifted the lid.

Dessert was this weirdly perfect fusion: crema catalana foam next to yuzu ice cream. Not what I expected at all, but somehow it made sense by then. The whole class felt more like being invited into someone’s home than a “workshop.” We swapped photos and recipes at the end—I still have mine scribbled on a napkin somewhere. If you’re looking for a Spanish cooking class in Palma that’s relaxed but real (and comes with lunch and drinks), this is honestly it.
