Description
Valencia is the home of the original paella and nowhere in the world will you find more local foodie paella snobs than in the local towns surrounding the city. Paella is not just a meal, it is an art to be practiced and rarely perfected for a lifetime. The best way to have paella is in the countryside, as traditionally we make paella over open fire or over gas rings, and that is precisely what you will do on this special excursion out of the city. You will learn the intricate details of this elaborate dish of the most typical chicken and rabbit paella, as well as the vegetable paella, while participating in preparing a meal with a wide range of typical Spanish appetizers, olive tastings, drinks and desserts. On your short journey 10km north of the city, you will pass the Horta Nord district, our Northern Gardens, where vast fields of vegetables and tiger nuts grow, amidst orange groves. Vicente, a local paella master, will teach you the many steps to getting this dish just right in a local environment, such as a local social clubhouse on the beach of El Puig or at a picnic area in the orange groves, depending on the weather and day.

- Transportation - Round Trip
- Local Guide - Vicent - the paella masterchef!
- Food - Lunch
- Drinks - Soft Drinks
