Cocina Castellana was certainly one of the very best of several European food and wine tours we've done. Suzanne and Marcos, the tour leaders, were gracious and knowledgeable. The cooking lessons and the food were wonderful.The itinerary was well-designed: Segovia itself was fascinating,and the visits with artists and countryside excursions were interesting.We had a great time and learned a lot about Spanish food and culture. We highly recommend this trip.

"We always consult Mark and Suzy before we travel to Spain. They have that special knowledge that only people who have lived in the country possess. With their help we've been able to find those special tapa bars and restaurants in Segovia and Madrid not listed in any guidebook."

" I first knew Mark and Suzy as teachers with Programs in Overseas Education, giving me the fundamentals of Spanish language,history and the arts. Only later, as an adult,did I come to appreciate the vibrant lifestyle they introduced me to. By sharing their many and varied Spanish friends with me,from artists and teachers to businessmen and even a local Count.Mark and Suzy got me hooked on a diet of lively discourse over great food and wine."
