This is a weekend stay and stay in a luxury hotel such as the Quinta de San Amaro , located in the Rias Baixas, in particular, in the town of Pontevedra Meaño and participate in a cooking workshop, taught by Paco and Pedro Caneda Sestayo with whom we visit the Grove market to acquire the raw materials needed to prepare local dishes and tasting.
