This cooking class in Valencia focuses on the traditional Valencian paella recipe, made with meat and vegetables as local families have prepared it for generations. The session starts with a visit to Ruzafa Market, a less touristy spot where locals buy fresh produce. Following the market visit, participants join a small-group workshop guided by Valencian chefs who demonstrate authentic techniques such as creating the socarrat, the crispy rice layer, using Albufera rice from the region, and properly balancing saffron. While the paella cooks, the group takes part in a sangría-making workshop and tastes several traditional tapas. The class concludes with a meal where participants eat the paella they prepared, accompanied by local wine, tomato salad, mistela, dessert, and soft drinks. The total duration of the class is about three and a half hours and includes bottomless sangría and bottled water.
