Great event! - I can absolutely recommend this paella event. Once you arrive (which is a distance of 35 km from Valencia, but is driven by Rafa), you are in another world. Wine, beer, everything there, I even saw water. Simply remove from the fridge. Rafa does the course in Spanish, but even without the translation into English you can understand everything. The correct choice of ingredients is also pointed out: The main thing is not Madrid. I strongly recommend this cooking class to people who do not otherwise cook. Thank you, Rafa and team!

Wow wow wow! - Arriving at Rafa and Julieta we enjoyed a comprehensive traditional Valencian paella course. We learned extensively how to make real traditional, traditional, traditional, traditional paella. We were close to where paella was first made. The story behind it is that they used everything they could find in the field for the paella. For example: snow peas, butter beans, rabbit, chicken, snails and of course rice! We also learned how to make delicious sangria and of course drank extensively! Rafa is a fantastic man and really gives his workshop in a great way! In short, a fantastic morning/afternoon

Amazing day with Rafa - This is an amazing experience! Rafa and his team have everything perfected! When we return to Valencia, we will come back again without any hesitation. The food was amazing and the service unmatched. Rafa opens up his home with a beautiful patio for this experience and everything was above and beyond any expectations we had.
