CULINARY DELIGHTS OF ANDALUSIA “This was the experience of a lifetime. It was more than a culinary excursion, it was an unforgettable life experience from learning new cuisine to finding serenity in olive country. I was introduced to a wonderful world of Spanish cuisine and the down-to-earth lifestyle that defines Andalusia. I cannot wait to go back!” - Opal H., Northport, Alabama |
