Best experience ever - Participated in an English-language program and personally was the most fun experience in Alicante! Andrea was more pleased to be a friendly and cheerful guide all the time from the market to the cooking practice. The best 👍 We also give wine without scarcity and tapas and cooking practice time has been shrunk. ^^ I want to visit Alicante again!!

A wonderful experience - A wonderful experience. Christina was a passionate guide and teacher. The visit to the market introduced us to delicious Alicante produce and market traders then we prepared our authentic Alicante Paella back in the club. Tasting tapas, local wine and our paella was a lovely shared experience with a great group of people.
