Summary:
My husband and made this experience one of our first stops on our trip and we know our afternoon with Andrea will be hard to beat. She was so kind and personable. It didnt take long before she made us feel right at home chatting away in her peaceful apartment. The ingredients for the churros were prepared in advance and she carefully walked us through every step of the process. Ultimately we ended the day with the knowledge of making this delicious treat and a new friend.

Summary:
I had the best time and experience with the churro making class!!! I went with my husband and mother in law and we all agreed that this was the best thing that we did while visiting the city!! It was nice to have a slower paced activity where we learned how to make delicious churros, and enjoy the company of our amazing host and the others that were in the same session as us. If you are looking for an activity where you want to enjoy cooking, the company of others, and an overall amazing time I would highly recommend!!!!
