- We had an amazing time! The staff helped out so much with teaching us an authentic paella. Each step was explained very well and easy for even someone who has never picked up a spatula.

Absolute 10/10. You have to do this trip! - This was an incredible experience. Starting in the local market really adds to the whole day. Christina and Andrea were amazing and so knowledgeable. They taught us tips and tricks while cooking and made cooking with a group of 9 people feel like a breeze. The food was amazing and we all polished off the lot! If you are in Alicante or any of the surrounding areas this is worth travelling for. 1000/10 recommend this, we were a group of 5 friends and had the absolute best time.

A must-do in Alicante - Andrea and Christina were the perfect hosts for the cooking experience. They were so knowledgable about the market where the ingredients were bought, the preparation for the paella and just overall so friendly and made the experience so much fun. 10/10 would recommend this as a must if you’re visiting Alicante. The wine and tapas whilst we were cooking too was delicious. Thank you again

Great Paella making trip - recommended!! - Andrea and Christina were fantastic hosts on our Paella making course. They got everyone involved in the different parts of preparing and cooking the Paella and tapas and made it a really fun couple of hours. We also enjoyed a trip round the market and learned the best ways to prepare squid, baby squid, and fresh prawns. Good wine etc too and air conditioning!!
