We had so much fun cooking the paella, Lynsey was wonderful and we are excited to start cooking our own paella at home from what we have learned. We will be back for the bread making experience next time! The house and area is so beautiful! We highly recommend.
Our Plein Air group finished our trip at Colmenar. She greeted us into her charming home, where tables were beautifully arranged and looked out over the mountain view. We were lost and awed by the surrounding beauties: the panoramic view of the mountain range, flowers, grapevine, etc. I made a quest to try paella during my trip to Malaga, and I found it's just the way I like it. It's not too salty and just full of flavors! Please do try her paella. Thank you, for sharing your paella-making recipe with us. Her place was the highlight of my trip, and as a group, we still talk about our memorable experiences.
Yesterday my parents and I did this experience, and may I just say, it was the highlight of our trip. After having done a very fast paced tour of Andalucía, sitting down on Lynseys terrace and enyoying the sound of the birds chirping, with the sun on our faces, all while eating and drinking to our hearts content, couldn't have been better timed. It truly is a lyfestyle and food experience, learning not only about the food meca of Colmenar, but also about how it is to be a foreigner in a small town and the connection to Spanish neighbours and customs. If you have time to adventure in the mountains for a day, I would truly recommend, everything you can wish for she will help.
