A tremendous time! Christina was a wonderful teacher and host. We learned much about the history and distinction of Alicante rice dishes - and some history of the Mercado and Alicante as well. And then how to prepare the rice dishes!! THEY WERE DELICIOUS. Thanks again to Christina. She made the experience come alive.
