Seville Food ToursPaella and Tapas Cooking Class with Triana Market Tour
This Seville cooking class at Triana market is hands-on: a guided walk through the stalls, then four Andalusian dishes cooked at the bench and eaten together. It is also the only listing in this catalogue of Seville food tours that states it can be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free — and the one where booking the morning rather than the afternoon changes what you get.

Quick answer The only listing here that feeds a vegan — and why you must book the morning
The Triana cooking class is $87 for 3.5 hours inside Mercado de Triana: a guided walk through the market stalls, then a hands-on class in the school at stalls 75-77 where you cook salmorejo or gazpacho, a Seville tapa such as espinacas con garbanzos, a paella valenciana and a lemon sorbet with cava. Sangria is poured while you cook and two more drinks come with the meal. It is the only listing in this catalogue that states it can be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free with advance notice — and the market walk is part of the morning session only.

What You Cook, and What the Market Walk Adds
The menu, dish by dish
The class cooks four things, and each one is a deliberate lesson in Andalusian cooking rather than a Spanish greatest-hits reel.
Salmorejo or gazpacho — the cold tomato soups that separate Cordoba from Seville. Salmorejo is thicker, bread-heavy and finished with ham and egg; gazpacho is looser and drunk as much as eaten. Espinacas con garbanzos, spinach with chickpeas, cumin and paprika, is the dish that carries the city's Moorish inheritance most plainly; the school also offers flamenco eggs, cod fritters or garlic prawns as the alternative. Paella valenciana is the traditional version with chicken and vegetables, not the seafood one tourists expect — cooked together as a group and eaten together. Lemon sorbet with cava closes it.
Sangria is served while you cook. When you sit down, two more drinks per person — wine, beer or a soft drink — are included.
Why the morning session is a different tour
The listing is explicit: market tours are included in morning sessions only. Book the afternoon and you go straight to the kitchen.
That matters because Mercado de Triana is the point of the location. The produce stalls trade Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 14:30 and close on Sundays and public holidays, so the morning class is timed to the market's own clock rather than the tour operator's convenience. Walking the stalls with a cook — who buys, who knows the vendors, who can tell you which tomatoes are for salmorejo and which are for eating — is a different thing from walking them alone.
The diet question, answered properly
Almost every food tour in Seville is closed to vegans, because Andalusian bar food is built on cured pork, and a pre-ordered tapas menu cannot be quietly rewritten on the night. A class can be, and this one says so: suitable for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets, provided you tell the school in advance so the menu can be adapted.
It is also the family option. Reviewers mention children of eleven and fourteen taking part and enjoying it, which is not something a three-hour bar crawl can offer.
The school sits inside the market at stalls 75-77 — the same address as the Triana market tasting tour, which is the walk-and-taste version of the same idea without the cooking.
Where the Class Is Held
Mercado de Triana, Plaza del Altozano, stalls 75-77 — across the Isabel II bridge from the centre, at the Triana end.
The market stands on the excavated ruins of the Castillo de San Jorge.
Questions About This Class
Is the market tour included?
Only in morning sessions. The listing states market tours are included in morning sessions only, so an afternoon booking is kitchen-only. Market stalls also close on Sundays and public holidays.
Is this a hands-on class or a demonstration?
Hands-on. The listing describes a collaborative session where everyone takes part, guided by a professional chef. If you want to watch rather than cook, the paella show-cooking evening is $43 and explicitly a demonstration.
Can vegans and coeliacs do this class?
Yes, with notice. The listing states the class is suitable for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets if you inform the school in advance so the menu can be adapted. It is the only listing in this catalogue that says so.
What do you actually cook?
Salmorejo or gazpacho, a Seville tapa such as spinach with chickpeas (or flamenco eggs, cod fritters or garlic prawns), paella valenciana with chicken and vegetables, and lemon sorbet with cava. You eat all of it.
Is it suitable for children?
Reviewers report bringing children of eleven and fourteen who enjoyed it. The class is indoors, seated at benches, and paced for a holiday rather than a culinary school.
Do I take the recipes home?
Yes — the listing states you leave with the recipes and the techniques. Aprons are provided and all ingredients are included.
What Travellers Said
Very well organized, masterfully led. Many questions answered, lots of stories shared, lots of laughter, and all of this culminating with a delicious meal.
This was a highlight of our recent trip to Seville, even our 14 year old son and 11 year old daughter loved it.
Fun, informative and well paced for a holiday activity.
