For the Foodie: Culinary trails in Spain & Bangkok
They say that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach but we’re pretty sure this applies to women as well. Embark on a delicious culinary discovery through a foreign land, and you may just awaken a new taste for exotic cuisines.
One of the top-rated foodie trips in the world is the Andalucia Culinary Delights tour through Cadiz, Spain. Centred upon the white-washed hilltop town of Vejer de la Frontera, this five-day tour features cooking classes, where you’ll learn to prepare local dishes such as sea salt-baked fish, paella and sherry chocolate cake.
The day begins with a visit to the fish market in the coastal town of Barbate, where you will buy ingredients for the Spanish lunch to be prepared. The tour also includes a tapas tour through the older area of Cadiz as well as sherry tutorials. This tour is provided by theuniquetraveller.com.
Alternatively, if you’d like to head somewhere closer to home, a food tour is a great way to re-experience the popular city of Bangkok, Thailand.
Offered by fodors.com, the eight-day Trip Feast trail will take you to a hands-on cooking class, on a ride across Hua Hin Hill Vineyard and on a nighttime boat tour to view the fireflies.
