The translator picked us up on time and we met the ladies of the house at the market, they were so friendly and welcoming and we picked up the produce for the cooking, with the option to but extra for ourselves. Went back to their home where they also make woven products and the rest of the family were there to greet us. We learnt so much and the family were so friendly and helpful and Tomas the brother was there who spoke excellent English so the translator wasn’t needed back at the house. Would definitely recommend, our stomachs were full and we also had beers and mezcal too! Brilliant day

The women teaching the class were so engaging and had warm hospitality. It was a bonus to see their family weaving and dying wool operation. Don't miss it.

Definitely worth doing. This has been our favorite part of the trip. I'm not sure if there are different homes they take you to but the home host Thomas and his family were wonderful. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
