About this experience
We will give you a practical demonstration of the preparation of the Typical Paella of the Andalusian grandmothers, which you will taste along with traditional starters, drinks and dessert.
I will attend to you myself. Hi, I'm María José, La María, Haute Cuisine Chef at the Culinary Institute of Barcelona (CIB), of Latin blood and Andalusian roots.
You will learn all the secrets of the preparations that the grandmothers made using the garden products and those that they obtained by bartering with fishermen, ranchers and hunters in the Estepona area, where we carried out the experience.
We will tell you the story of the farmers in the area.
We have vegetarian options that we can arrange and we adapt to any dietary restriction or allergy that you inform us of!
