(last checked September 15, 2026) ## Overview Valencian paella —and this hands-on cooking class teaches you the real recipe, not a bland substitute. Learn to make authentic paella with seasonal produce from Valencia's own fields, the way local chefs have perfected it for generations. 100% valencian. No shortcuts. Just authentic technique from Valencian 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: selecting the best seasonal vegetables and meat or seafood - 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. ## Key facts - Price: from €65 per person - Duration: 3h 30m - Rating: 4.97/5 from 157 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: My First Paella ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Vegetable Paella Cooking Class | €65 / person | English | Vegetable Paella Workshop: This paella is cooked with fresh vegetables from the Valencian orchard. | | Seafood Paella Cooking Class | €65 / person | English | Seafood Paella Workshop: It is cooked with seafood and a fish and vegetable broth. | | Valencian Paella Cooking Class | €65 / person | English | Valencian Paella Workshop: The most traditional one.
