Its July 2020 and covid 19 is still upon us, However, this activity was excellent. We only had one day in Alicante and wanted to make the most of our day rather than wandering around aimlessly. There was no need to worry as all the places we visited were well sanitised everyone has worn masks too . People were so friendly too. Silvina was our personal guide. She really made the whole experience very personal. Her knowledge about the local food and wine was brilliant. It was a day of great food, great wine and fun. Highly recommend this . Thank you Silvina

It was a fantastic experience. Our host Juanlu met us at the main entrance of the Mercado Central and together with him we visited the market to buy the fresh ingredients for the paella. He showed us the best shops to buy fish, meat, vegetables, nuts, olives, etc. A short walk took us to the kitchen where we met Rosario. She had already prepared the sangria and some appetizers. We had a lot of laughs and fun as we all helped to prepare other appetizers and of course our lunch ’Arroz Alicantino’. Sangria, wine and beer were flowing. We all enjoyed the authentic paella at the table and finished with dessert, coffee and liqueur. We would highly recommend the Paella Alicante Experience. If we go back to Alicante, we do it again because it’s so much fun.
