What to expect

Discover Cartagena through its market, its streets and the flavors of a freshly prepared paella. This guided walking experience combines a visit to Santa Florentina Market with a paella cooking demonstration and a meal at a local restaurant.

Start near the waterfront and walk through the historic centre with your English-speaking guide. Learn about the city along the way before exploring the market, where stalls display the produce that shapes the region’s cooking. Purchases and tastings at the market are not included.

Continue to a local restaurant and watch the chef prepare paella. Follow the cooking process and learn about the ingredients and techniques behind this Spanish dish. This is a chef-led demonstration, rather than a hands-on cooking class.

Enjoy a glass of sangria and taste the prepared paella. Finish with an Asiático coffee, a local Cartagena speciality that rounds off your introduction to the city’s food culture.

The experience takes place on foot; transport is not included.
