Seafood Paella cooking class Sangria workshop & Local Market
Overview
Seafood paella is Valencia's gift to the coast—and this hands-on cooking class teaches you the real recipe, not the tourist version. Learn to make authentic seafood paella with its traditional salmorreta sofrito, the way Valencian chefs have perfected it for generations. Fresh seafood. No shortcuts. Just authentic technique from local chefs who grew up making it.
Your experience starts at Ruzafa Market, a neighborhood gem where locals shop for fresh ingredients—far from the crowds of Central Market. Then, join our small-group workshop to master the secrets: building the rich salmorreta base, achieving the perfect socarrat (the prized crispy rice crust), using albufera rice from Valencia's own fields, and balancing saffron like a pro.
While your paella simmers, enjoy a sangria-making workshop and sample traditional tapas. Then sit down to feast on your creation with local wine, salad, mistela, and homemade dessert.
