Super Erfahrung! Unsere Köchin Arantxa gab nicht nur einen Informativen Kochkurs zu Paella und Tapas, sondern auch den Einblick in das Leben in Spanien.

Our family had so much fun, Arantxa was a great chef and guide, teaching us all how to make paella, selecting foods from the adorable market, and the private room at Ferretero where we cooked everything was immaculate. We have kids that are 15, 13, and 11 and they all got to enjoy cooking with Arantxa.
