Paella & Sangria Cooking Class in Alicante with Market Visit
This is the first cooking workshop in Alicante, born in 2022. Unlike other cooking workshops we introduced the local Market as an important key of the cooking process. That´s why you will spend an hour in the Market buying the freshest ingredients and interacting with the stall owners, while you learn about the Spanish cuisine, history and traditions.
Discover the best mediterranean flavours and recipes led by a local and proffesional chef and her assitant in her own venue. This is NOT an artificial venue made for tourists, but a local bussiness, where you could interact with other travellers and locals.
Taste your own homemade paella, sangría and appetizers/tapas. Different paella flavours available (sea food, meat, or veg.).
This is the best local gourmet experience to know firsthand the gastronomy and cuisine of Alicante! Local guide, local chef, local comerce, and local products, a perfect match.
