Lunch with a local chef. Make a five-century-old dish

The true spirit of sharing and friendship. High moment of your holidays. Unique experience for those who really enjoy savoring traditional food The food is made in a wood-fired oven made of lava stones, similar to our ancestors and that gives an unmistakable flavor that can not be found in the local restaurants. Besides the food, the drink is always present and I give tips of the best wines and we talk above all about what characterizes us as islanders in the middle of this immense ocean. Main ingredient is the passion that is dedicated to the preparation of the recipes (Can request the opening of some date to be agreed, depending on the number of people.) We speak English and Spanish and then the wine speaks for itself
