“We would do it again if we could! Megan was fantastic, warm, engaging, and knowledgeable. Our brief tour around town was interesting, especially the market where we got ingredients for our paella which was delicious. Great wines served with a great group of people. The kitchen/restaurant was quite charming. Our group had such a great time, we ventured into the city together and continued the party long after the paella cooking and eating was done. I don't have a single negative comment. Would 100% recommend to anyone.”
