Overview

This is the first cooking workshop ever created in Alicante, founded in 2022 by local hospitality professionals.

Unlike other classes, we make the Central Market a key part of the experience. You’ll explore its colourful stalls, meet local vendors, and learn about the flavours and traditions that shape Spanish cuisine.

Then, step into our real working kitchen inside a local restaurant — not a tourist set-up, but a place where locals actually eat. Guided by our professional chef and host, you’ll prepare your paella from scratch, including the broth and salmorreta, the traditional sofrito base.

Choose your flavour — seafood, meat, or vegetarian — and enjoy your homemade paella, sangria, and local appetisers in a relaxed atmosphere shared with travellers and locals alike.

This is Alicante’s most authentic gourmet experience, created by locals who truly love their city, its markets, and its food. Real professionals, real products, real local flavour.

Discover Alicante through its most authentic flavours! Your culinary adventure begins at the Mercado Central, where your local guide will lead you through vibrant stalls filled with fresh produce. Meet the vendors, learn about Mediterranean ingredients, and choose the essentials for your paella. Then, step into our real working kitchen inside a local restaurant — not a tourist set-up, but a place where locals eat. Guided by our professional chef and host, you’ll cook paella from scratch: from preparing the broth and salmorreta (the sofrito base) to balancing the perfect flavours. While your paella simmers, enjoy traditional tapas and make your own fresh sangria. Choose your paella style — seafood, meat, or vegetarian — and experience how locals cook, eat, and share food together. Finally, sit down to enjoy your homemade paella, sangria, and tapas in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. This is the true taste of Alicante — authentic, local and unforgettable.
