Esperienza fantastica – da fare assolutamente a Barcellona! Abbiamo partecipato alla Masterclass di Paella insieme a mio figlio di 13 anni ed è stata un’esperienza davvero speciale. L’attività è durata dalle 11 alle 14 ed è volata: divertente, coinvolgente e curata in ogni dettaglio. La nostra insegnante, BiBi, è stata semplicemente meravigliosa: gentilissima, educata, solare e con una capacità incredibile di creare subito sintonia. Ci siamo trovati “a pelle”, abbiamo riso tantissimo e ci siamo sentiti subito a nostro agio. Siamo stati anche molto fortunati perché eravamo solo io e mio figlio, quindi la lezione è stata completamente personalizzata e dedicata a noi: un vero lusso. Abbiamo preparato la sangria, la paella e anche il dolce, tutto spiegato in modo chiaro, pratico e divertente. Anche i piccoli imprevisti hanno reso l’esperienza ancora più autentica e memorabile 😄 Un’attività perfetta anche per i ragazzi, educativa ma mai noiosa, e un ricordo bellissimo da portare a casa. La consigliamo senza alcun dubbio: è un’esperienza che va assolutamente fatta se si è a Barcellona. Grazie BB, davvero indimenticabile! 💛
