What to expect
Half-day at a traditional barraca in the Albufera natural park: rice-field visit, boat trip on the freshwater lagoon, and hands-on paella valenciana class over a wood fire with an accredited chef.
Cook authentic Valencian paella beside the actual rice fields. Departures run from Valencian Community, and the whole experience takes about 5 h — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Valencian Community itinerary.
