- To prepare for your date, ensure to wear comfortable clothing and shoes as you'll be standing and cooking for a part of the date. Also, it can be a good idea to carry a light shawl or coat for the evening walk.
- Make sure to reserve your cooking class spot in advance as it can get busy, particularly during hoilday seasons. Also, check for any dietary restrictions or preferences for both of you and communicate the same during your booking itself.
- Familiarize yourself with the evening walk route to avoid any confusion. Remember that this is not a race but a casual walk so don't rush and soak in the city's beauty instead. Knowing a little about Valencia's history and culture could add interest to your walk.
Some tips:

- While walking in the city, take moments to appreciate your surroundings and each other's company. Also, watch out for popular landmarks and make sure to capture some romantic photos against the setting sun.
- Finally, remember that the whole idea of the date is to enjoy and communicate. Even if your paella didn't turn out perfect, laugh it off and enjoy the meal. Relax, put on a genuine smile, and show appreciation for your partner during the date.
