Highlights
This is a warm, hands-on cooking experience that takes you into the heart of Alicante’s food culture. You’ll prepare five traditional tapas and a dessert in a real working restaurant kitchen — not a staged set, but a lively space where locals come to eat. Guided by a local chef and a friendly host, you’ll work with fresh, quality ingredients while learning different cooking techniques and discovering the stories and traditions behind each dish. The experience combines genuine hands-on cooking with the Spanish tradition of sharing tapas. You’ll cook together before sitting around the same table to enjoy everything you have prepared, accompanied by a drink, good conversation and a relaxed local atmosphere. At the end of the meal, a solo Spanish guitarist will perform a few songs, adding a brief final touch of Mediterranean soul to the experience. Authentic food, shared around a table, in a setting that feels genuinely Alicante.

About Alicante
Alicante is a Mediterranean port city on Spain's Costa Blanca, with a hilltop castle, a palm-lined seafront promenade and an island nature reserve.
Alicante lies beneath Mount Benacantil, which carries the Santa Bárbara Castle, a fortress of Moorish origin with views over the bay. The Explanada de España, a palm-shaded promenade paved with a wavy pattern of marble tiles, runs along the harbour, and the old quarter of Santa Cruz climbs the hillside in whitewashed lanes. The modernist Central Market holds fish, produce and cured meats.
