Overview

Let the flavors of coastal Spain come alive as you roll up your sleeves for an evening of hands-on cooking and culinary discovery. Guided by a seasoned chef, you’ll craft a vibrant menu that celebrates tradition, texture, and shared joy.

Begin with the satisfying crunch of patatas bravas, then toss a kale salad brightened with Marcona almonds and shavings of Manchego. The star of the night is a fragrant seafood paella—infused with saffron and simmered to perfection with shellfish and coastal flair. For dessert, master the art of the classic Spanish flan, where caramelized sugar meets creamy custard in a golden finale.

Whether you're a curious home cook or simply craving a flavorful escape, this class brings the spirit of Spain to the heart of Darien.
