Once everyone else arrived, we walked for about 5 minutes to the local market, where he bought beautiful fresh fish and seafood, and fruit etc for our lunch. We then walked back to a very professional kitchen, where we all contributed our effort to produce a delicious lunch, with very good wine. We were taught great skills, for example, filleting a fish and shucking oysters. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day, and felt that it was extremely good value for money. Thank you Pablo.”
