It was also a very fun experience as our group was really friendly. The food was great as well! The only thing I didn’t like is at the end, while eat my paella, I looked up to do something. When I looked down at my plate of paella it was gone! I had no time to eat my paella! And I think they just threw it away , not sure. I just wish they would have asked me if I would like to take it with me.”
