Step inside the real Valencia and immerse yourself in a unique cultural experience in the historic neighborhood of Benimaclet. In a beautiful indoor garden space inspired by a traditional huerto valenciano, learn from a local Valencian artist the fascinating history of the Spanish hand fan and the secret “language of the fan” used as a form of communication in the 18th and 19th century; the original text messaging of Spain.

During this hands-on fan painting workshop in Valencia, discover traditional patterns, symbols, and colors, and then choose your own design to create a personalized hand-painted fan. Select one of the classic motifs or craft your own pattern on a high-quality blank fan. Spanish guitar music plays softly in the background while you paint, creating an unforgettable atmosphere rooted in local culture. A local wine, liqueur, or soft drink is also included.

Whether you’re looking for an authentic cultural experience in Valencia, a fun activity with friends or family, or a meaningful souvenir to take home, this workshop is the perfect way to connect with the traditions of Spain. Leave with a beautiful handcrafted fan of your own design, a unique keepsake, and a lasting memory of your time in Valencia.
