Valencia is the birthplace of the world-famous paella - from the market to your plate, learn step-by-step how to make this traditional dish!
First, your local guide will take you to visit Mercado Central de Valencia - Europe's largest food market. Here, you'll buy your fresh ingredients. For evening tours and tours on Sunday, the Central Market is closed so we will skip this step and go straight to the cooking!
You’ll then go to the paella kitchen for a live paella workshop with a professional chef. Follow along step-by-step at your own cooking station and learn the local tips and tricks of what makes this dish so special.
After the class, sit back and enjoy some local tapas, wine and, of course, your very own paella.
Your paella cooking class Valencia finishes with a sweet treat before returning to the meeting point accompanied by the guide.

5.00Juan and Luna were amazing. I went with my wife and had a great time! Super sociable, a great group, we learned a little about Valencia, the market and the paella ingredients. We visited the market to collect some ingredients. The class itself was so much fun and super informative also. The food was amazing, with tapas provided throughout the cooking process and tasting different wines. One of the highlights of our trip and would HIGHLY recommend!! Muchas gracias Juan y Luna, ¡mucho gusto y hasta luego!
