This adventure will send listeners through Spain’s three
biggest destinations: Barcelona, Sevilla, and the country’s
capital, Madrid. This won’t be your typical tourist
excursion; participants will learn about Spanish
culture through the exploration of its many
essences. We’ll be shopping in local markets
and discovering the intricacies of Spanish
flavors, while learning the nuances of
how to prepare proper Spanish food from
experienced chefs. Can you imagine a
better way to delve into another culture?
