Discover Alicante through its food, traditions, and local way of life. Start at Alicante’s Central Market with your local host. Explore the colourful stalls, meet vendors, learn about Mediterranean ingredients, and shop for fresh products for your cooking class. Then, head to our kitchen inside a real local restaurant. Guided by a professional local chef and host, you’ll prepare authentic Alicante paella from scratch, including the traditional sofrito, while learning the techniques behind one of Spain’s most iconic dishes. But paella is only part of the experience. Prepare traditional tapas and make your own homemade sangria. Wine, beer and soft drinks are also available. Choose your paella — seafood, meat, or vegetarian. Finally, sit down together and enjoy everything you’ve prepared in a relaxed local atmosphere. Share your paella, tapas and drinks with fellow travellers, and take the recipes home to recreate your favourite dishes. Created by Alicante’s original cooking workshop and hosted by local hospitality professionals, this is more than a cooking class — it’s a delicious way to experience Alicante through its market, food and people.
