This is a warm, hands-on cooking experience that brings you straight into the heart of Alicante’s food culture. You'll cook a full tapas menu in a real, lively kitchen — not a staged set, but a working space where locals eat every day.
Led by a local chef and a friendly host, you’ll use fresh, top-quality ingredients from the Central Market to prepare authentic Spanish tapas while learning the techniques, stories, and traditions behind each dish.
It’s not just about recipes — it’s about connecting through food. You’ll cook, learn, and share the experience with others in a relaxed, local setting. The menu is plentiful and packed with flavour, but what stays with you is the atmosphere — real, honest, and uniquely Alicante.
