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.

Daniel was amazing! Charming and knowledgeable about his paella. The location was perfect. Started in a timely manner and it was definitely a pleasant experience meeting new people and having a private sit down dinner with new people.

This was a very family-friendly activity. It was the first thing we did when we landed in Valencia and it was the best decision we made. We were able to enjoy how to not just how to make Paella, but also learn what goes in each one so when we tried different ones around different cities, we appreciated the history of it.
