Central Market Visit and Authentic Paella Cooking Class
Shop in one of the largest markets in Europe, the Central Market, known for the variety, quality, and freshness of its products.
Learn about the past and present of selling fresh produce, hear anecdotes about the older stalls, discover how they have continued through generations, and admire the modernist architecture. It is a real pleasure for the senses.
Prepare the pans, light the fires, and get ready to cook. Dress like you are in a professional chef school with an apron and a hat, which are necessary for hygiene and safety reasons.
Learn how to cook the dish step by step, while gaining insight into the history of its creation and other interesting stories associated with it.
During the preparation of the paella, there are moments of active work, such as frying the meat and vegetables, and quieter moments, such as cooking the broth. During these quieter moments, taste Valencian wine, red or white, or Valencian brew. This is accompanied by a tasting of tomatoes seasoned with the best virgin oils appellation of Valencia.
Eat the authentic paella that has been cooked. The paella is accompanied by a typical Valencian salad and, finally, good local desserts. Soft drinks, wine, and beer are available.
Each participant receives a diploma certifying their knowledge of cooking authentic paella.
