Annette is a warm host with a deep appreciation for different cultures. She attributes her love of cooking to her mom and love of eating to her dad. A native Canadian, Annette is multilingual, has lived in several continents and has had professional stints in commercial banking and in the science field before discovering her true passion on a trip to Seville…Flamenco. From the moment Annette experienced flamenco, a form of song and dance special to the Andalusia region of Spain, she was hooked. Her newfound love fueled a series of trips to Seville to study flamenco and she ended up opening her own flamenco dance studio in Canada before finally moving to Seville permanently. Now a resident of Seville, Annette teaches English and lives with her boyfriend Jose. Jose hails from Soria, a gem on the eastern end of Castille and León region of Spain. Together the pair enjoys creating dishes inspired by Jose’s hometown in central Spain. Meet your host Annette and her boyfriend Jose at their simple but welcoming home. Enjoy a glass of wine and snack on olives in the kitchen while discussing Annette’s globetrotting past and listening to Annette translate for Jose about life growing up in central Spain. Join your host on the rooftop (weather permitting) or dining table for an authentic Spanish meal of codera a la pastora, sopa castellana, tortilla and alcachofas con salsa. Your meal will conclude with a dessert of torija or leche frito. If you book a cooking experience, join Annette and Jose in their kitchen to learn to cook a meal traditional of the Castille and León region of Spain. Listen to Annette as she translates for Jose. Your hands-on cooking lesson will last about two hours, during which you will learn to cook three dishes from scratch. Note that Annette typically serves dishes of the Castille and León region of Spain, where her partner Jose is from. However if you are interested in trying other dishes from Seville or elsewhere please ask your travel advisor!

Featured Destinations

Seville

Seville is one place most beloved by visitors to Spain. Although today Moorish influence is architectonically most evident - Andalusia was occupied by Moors for about 800 years - it has been a cultural center long before. Seville was home of famous and infamous figures of history, the legendary "Don Juan" started from here to conquer the hearts of women across all Europe, while Columbus started from a port close to Seville to discover a new world. Prosper Merimée's "Carmen", who couldn't make her decision between the officer Don José and the bullfighter Escamillo, can still be watched today in opera houses. Seville is the very heart of Andalusian culture and the center of bullfighting and Flamenco music. Take it easy and interrupt sightseeing from time to time to have a few "tapas", those typical "small spanish dishes", and a glass of Sherry wine in one of the many bars in this city.
