Clandestine Paella cooking class
Embark on an exceptional and distinctive paella cooking journey with the clandestine Paella Cooking Class!
Upon arrival, David & Jose's team will warmly welcome us, providing a refreshing drink and delightful 'picoteo' (starter snacks) before donning our aprons. The adventure kicks off with a hands-on masterclass in paella preparation. As we immerse ourselves in the culinary process, we'll delve into the nuances of local ingredients, all sourced fresh from the nearby Central market.
But that's not all – the experience extends beyond paella, encompassing the art of crafting our own sangria, exploring various olive oils, and savoring three distinct starters before culminating in the creation of our personalized paella. To cap off this unforgettable encounter, each participant receives an exclusive paella chef certificate, followed by a relaxing session with coffee or tea and dessert.
This is certainly not your typical paella cooking class, designed exclusively for small groups ranging from 2 to 10 individuals, ensuring an intimate and personalized culinary experience!
The Albufera Lake with its incredible sunset scenery seen from a boat is an extraordinary experience!
For an unparalleled sunset experience in Valencia, there's no better vantage point than from a classic Fisherman's boat on the serene Albufera Lake!

It is a haven for migratory birds and is encircled by breathtaking natural landscapes and historic local rice fields.
In this unique encounter, we'll embark on a private boat excursion, immersing ourselves in the tranquility of the Albufera Lake and witnessing one of Spain's most enchanting sunsets. To enhance the experience, local wines and tapas will be savored against the backdrop of this picturesque setting.

While on the boat excursion, indulge in the rich flavors of local wines sourced from the Utiel/Requena region. These exquisite wines will be expertly paired with a variety of delectable local tapas – a delightful culinary journey!
As you bask in the tranquility and witness the vibrant hues of the lake at sunset, savoring this enchanting moment, the journey concludes with a return to the docks once the sun has gracefully descended behind the mountains.
Valencia boasts a flourishing craft beer culture, marked by an increasing array of bars and artisanal breweries.
Craft beer in Valencia? Undoubtedly, Valencia hosts a vibrant craft beer scene, witnessing a surge in the number of craft beer bars and breweries. Beer holds a significant place in Valencian culture, akin to wine. Enjoying a 'Cerveseta' as an aperitif or alongside culinary traditions like the almuerzo is a widely embraced practice. Nevertheless, it's important to recognize that beer in Valencia transcends the typical refreshing lager found in many establishments—it represents a rich and diverse facet of the local beverage culture.
Included
Immerse yourself in the distinctive craft beer tasting encounter in Valencia, held at a charming local craft beer tavern equipped with a selection of regional beers on tap and an inviting terrace. We'll adopt a leisurely pace ('tranquilo') and relish the flavors of 4 to 6 diverse local beers.
Given the dynamic nature of the craft beer industry, with breweries constantly innovating and introducing new (seasonal) beer styles, each beer tasting is tailor-made. The culinary experience is intricately linked to the beer styles, necessitating the procurement of fresh, local products from the market on the same day of the tasting.
