“Maria first met us near the market and then gave us a fantastic walking tour of the market teaching us all along the way about how to select the best ingredients for paella. All along the way she was keeping our kids engaged and teaching them too. Then we made a short walk to her beautiful kitchen with the table so beautifully laid out. Then coached us all along the way to make delicious paella and sangria (alcoholic and non!). Her assistant took pictures and videos of our group all along the way. Truly fantastic!”
