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. ## 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. ## Key facts - Price: from €65 per person - Duration: 3h 30m - Rating: 4.95/5 from 386 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: My First Paella ## 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 ## Good to know - Wheelchair accessible - Children must be accompanied by an adult - May be operated by a multi-lingual guide (English, Russian and Spanish) ## How it compares in Paella Cooking Classes Ranked **#7 of 9** by Guidekin's weighted score (rating weighted by review volume).
