I’ve compared Valencia’s paella classes, from market-visit mornings to long lunches near the Albufera. This is the dish’s birthplace, and the real thing uses chicken, rabbit, and garrofó beans, never chorizo. The mark of a good class is the socarrat, the crisp layer of rice stuck to the pan.
Join a hands-on paella cooking class in Valencia with market shopping, wine tasting, and delicious local tapas — perfect for food lovers and culture seekers.
