“This was a lot of fun. Simon had a lot of energy and added a lot to the experience. We were not given any recipes to take home like the description mentioned. Maybe it was just forgotten about. At the end he asked if we would like to do the flamenco tour with him. We signed up with him and came back a couple days later for it. Turns out it wasn’t with him and I would not recommend that tour to anyone. So boring and not worth anyone’s time.”
