Excellent

The other couple booked for the tour didn't show so I got a solo tour from Andrea who was an excellent guide, very informative and knowledgeable. Did my best to get through all the food and didn't any dinner (or tea in English I was trying to explain to Andrea ! )

Borja, did an amazing job, explaining and showing us wondering food places. Love chicharron, potato dish, calamari sand, and churros
