**  Market visit, Authentic Paella Cooking Class with Valencian Chef ** 

  In collaboration with two cooking schools we offer Paella cooking classes. The morning  starts visiting the Mercado Central, Valencia´s unique Central Market. 

Jamones Mercado Central The enormous Modernista concoction was designed by Alejandro Soler & Francisco Guardia and was completed in 1928 comprising of wrought iron and stained glass surmounted with cupolas and elaborate weathervanes. Whilst the building is impressive it is the sheer array of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and all manner of local produce that is quite astounding inside the market. Beneath the central glass dome over 1000 stalls offer their delicacies fresh from the huerta of Valencia, many sellers specialising in particular foods.  

 

You will be accommpanied with a respected Valencian chef  to select the various ingredients for the paella/arroz cooking class and is a great way to experience the local market ambiance and daily way of life of Valencians... following the market visit you make your way a short walk to the cooking class, a restaurant/school in the old town passing the Lonja and many old relic buildings of the city..

 

  Now in posession of fresh produce you will have first class instruction in English & Spanish to prepare a  Paella Valenciana . Of course you are provided with apron etc and during moments while not actively cooking, you are invited to sample Valencian white/red wine or local artisan cerveza.
