Oranges & Paella
What are the two most famous gastronomic things in Valencia? Orange and Paella of course.
Surely you have already noticed walking through the streets, oranges everywhere and the aroma of paella.
Do you know the right way to pick oranges and cook paella?
It’s time to pick your own oranges and cook paella.
One expert will teach us how to pick oranges the right way and another how to cook paella (cooking show, below).
Paella Cooking Show
A master paella maker will teach us how to make paella, the ingredients, the correct way to make it etc.. Then we can eat the same paella (There will be a vegetarian paella too). He will also teach us how to make sangria.
Did you know that Valencia started growing oranges in 1781 and Paella is actually the frying pan where paella is cooked. Paella was the food of farm workers, made in the fields with rice, and what they found in the fields (tomatoes, onions and snails, with some beans added for flavor and texture).
You can choose how to take it (metro/bus/car), the important thing is to be at 10:30 a.m. in the “Omet” metro station
https://goo.gl/maps/VPb5j4YJ4oYsTJYYA or at 11:00 at the location where we will have the activities: https://goo.gl/maps/inTcmoowcWBhr1XQ8 (From the metro stop we have to walk 20 minutes).
When we arrive we will be divided into groups for the different activities: a class on how to pick oranges and a class on preparing sangria.
After these classes we will attend a paella preparation class.
