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.
