Guidekin's take

A hands on class in the historic San Germán home of a chef trained in New York who came back to cook his island's food, ending with the meal and a carafe of sangria or beer, lunch or dinner.

San Germán is on the far west of the island and there is no hotel pickup. 5 from 32 reviews at €114 per person.

In our comparison: #4 of 11 in Food & Cooking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
