Ingredients, equipment and drinks are included at €65 per person for 3h 30m. On Sundays the market is closed and the class goes straight to the kitchen. In our comparison: #7 of 9 in Paella Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## 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. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will meet in Parroquia San Valero (in… - Starts 11:00: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Children from €38: ages 3 to 13 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €65 per person - Duration: 3h 30m - Rating: 4.95/5 from 389 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: My First Paella - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 11:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-15 ## Reviews 4.95 from 389 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 99% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 385 of 389. - 5 stars: 379 (97%) - 4 stars: 6 (2%) - 3 stars: 1 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 3 (1%) ## What's included - Dessert, coffee and mistela - Tomato salad - Some tapas - Sangría, wine, beer, soft drinks or water - All ingredients and equipment to cook ## Not included - No visit Ruzafa Market on Sunday (closed) ## Schedule - Runs: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat - Departures: 11:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-15 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point We will meet in Parroquia San Valero (in the stairs) at 11:00am Carrer del Pare Perera, 6 46006 Valencia Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJFZRxVspIYA0RfGXGAGtlNTE Ends: back at the meeting point ## Good to know - Wheelchair accessible - Children must be accompanied by an adult - May be operated by a multi-lingual guide (English, Russian and Spanish) ## Compared with other Paella Cooking Classes | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #7 of 9** | €65 | 3h 30m | 4.95 (389) | shared | | [Paella Cooking Class, Wine Tasting & Central Market in Valencia](/spain/valencia/tours/paella-cooking-class-wine-tasting-central-market-in-valencia/?format=md) | €70 | 4h | 4.99 (1994) | shared | | [Real Paella Cooking Class – Market Visit & Sangría Workshop](/spain/valencia/tours/real-paella-cooking-class-market-visit-sangr-a-workshop/?format=md) | €65 | 3h 30m | 4.98 (1649) | shared | | [Authentic Valencian Paella Cooking Class](/spain/valencia/tours/authentic-valencian-paella-cooking-class/?format=md) | €69 | 4h | 4.98 (319) | shared | Ranked #7 of 9 in Paella Cooking Classes by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
