Experience Details

This is a very unique activity because all products are directly sourced from around a village in the Castilla La Mancha area of rural Spain.

Nothing served comes from city supermarkets, all from local farms. Congratulations for responsible travel & supporting local family farmers around this small village (pop. 67).

I’m Paul your private chef who travelled, cooked & ate my way around Spain. Typical dishes could be 25 day old baby lamb or pig, or bulls tail slowly cooked for 8 hours in wine n herbs from the land. Even River fish, or La Mancha egg plants, vegetables from my garden.

I cook to Michelin star standard but I will never want a Michelin star as I refuse to work in a restaurant. I love cooking in this hidden village in small, or private groups.

I cook in my private home by the 10th century castle. I’ll connect the dishes to the history of the African people who built the castle over 1000 years ago:

La Mancha Spanish farm cuisine with an Air of African Arabic influence.

Amazing, Informative Experience

February 14, 2026

Paul and Juan were amazing hosts and tour guides from pick up to drop off over 5 hours later. The food was outstanding. Paul should have his own TV cooking show.

Note that the dinner is not at the castle, but at a residence next to the castle. Food was delicious!
