I'm Paul from Manchester & my double act, Ian from Liverpool. Often we are together on this experience.
One day we got tired of the hustle n bussle of Madrid city restaurants and markets so we got into the car, went East into La Mancha, bought a country house, found delicious food which we eat listening to the birds by a fantastic 10th century castle with incredible views.
Come with us to the 'Real unspoiled rural Spain'. We are like the food and drink guys on TV who go around villages looking for original quality farm produce like Manchego cheese, baked products, honey olive oil.
We are the hosts of 'Unspoiled Spain for foodies' one of the highest rated tours in Spain, we are proud as every single 1 or our reviews are no less than 5 stars.

If I could rate this higher than a 5 I would! Fantastic! Great get away from the city. Learned so much about the region and Spain in general. And the culinary experience was spectacular! This tour is above and beyond! Paul, Ian, Juan and of course Hank- did a wonderful job!

A must do tour if in Madrid. Chef Paul takes you to a rural town with an ancient castle. From his home built in the wall of the castle he feeds you a delightful lunch of many courses paired with wine. You will learn of the history of this olive rich countryside and tour the abandoned escape tunnels of the castle. Overall just a great experience.

Paul, Ian, Jose & Hank (the dog) gave us an unforgettable experience in unspoiled Spain! Starting with the walk alongside the hillside to the village, through the food & wine experience & finishing with the tunnels under the castle, everything was perfect. All the guides have a deep knowledge of the history & culture of the area & answered all our questions including those on the drive to & from Madrid. You will not be disappointed with this tour, it’s a one in a lifetime experience!

Where do I start! Everything was amazing! Paul, Ian, and Juan were so accommodating. The knowledge they have for wine, food, and the local area was superb. The food was scrumptious. Nice casual hike down to their house for lunch and got to explore the underground caves. Best tour!
