Our take
It's one of the top-rated activities in Palma, and it's easy to see why. The windmill gives it an atmosphere an ordinary kitchen lacks, and with groups of 10 everyone really gets involved. It isn't cheap, but you get a full meal with drinks included.

- Welcome appetisers with island produce

The experience
What you will see
- An old flour windmill in Palma turned into a kitchen.
- How a paella is made from scratch.
- Home-style classics: tortilla, sobrasada and crema catalana.
How it works
You arrive at the windmill, put on an apron and cook a five-course menu as a group with your host. Afterwards everyone sits at a big table to eat what you made, with wine, beer and soft drinks, and you take the recipes home.
Who I recommend it for
- Couples and friends who enjoy cooking.
- Anyone wanting a full meal with a difference in Palma.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Vegans, as there is no adapted menu.
- Anyone looking for a budget activity.
