Step by Step
Discover a unique culinary experience in Alicante with the paella and sangria cooking class, an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the local gastronomic culture while learning how to prepare two emblematic Spanish dishes in a workshop lasting approximately four hours.
In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to delve into the world of paella, a rice recipe that has its roots in the Valencian Community and has transcended borders to become a Spanish culinary symbol. Recognised as an Asset of Cultural Interest, paella is much more than a meal: it is a tradition. Accompanied by a professional chef, you'll learn the secrets behind the perfect preparation of an authentic paella, including the delicate process of creating a socarrat, that light roasting of the rice that concentrates and intensifies the flavours.
But that's not all, as you'll also immerse yourself in the art of making sangria, the iconic Spanish drink. Originating in Spain and Portugal, sangria is a combination of wine, fruit and hints of liqueur that has conquered palates around the world. Under the expert guidance of the chef, you will learn how to select and combine the right ingredients to achieve a perfectly balanced sangria.
Before diving into the workshop, you will begin your culinary adventure at the Alicante Market, accompanied by a professional guide who will show you the secrets of the market and help you select the fresh ingredients you will need for your cooking experience. As well as learning the techniques and recipes, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy delicious homemade paella and other Mediterranean dishes, all paired with refreshing glasses of sangria. Enjoy a unique experience in small groups of around 15 travellers.
