    What To Expect

    Step into an authentic Valencian kitchen and learn to cook the true Paella Valenciana, the original recipe from the region of Valencia. Guided by an expert local chef, you’ll discover the secrets behind this iconic dish made with rabbit, chicken, and fresh local vegetables.

    Using zero-kilometer ingredients sourced from the famous Central Market of Valencia, you’ll learn the traditional techniques of rice selection, cooking, and flavor balancing that define this centuries-old recipe.

    As your paella slowly cooks, enjoy a tasting of Mediterranean starters and a glass of homemade sangria in a warm, convivial atmosphere. Finally, sit down to savor the paella you’ve created — a true taste of Valencia’s culinary soul.

    This hands-on experience combines authentic tradition, expert guidance, and local flavors, offering the most genuine way to experience Valencia through its most famous dish.
