Commences 13 June and includes six nights’ half board in a 19th-century finca, 12 hours’ tuition in the kitchen with a professional chef, and excursions to local olive oil and sherry producers. Travel to Spain is not included. “This charming, rustic finca set in the hills near the Parque Natural de La Sierra Subbética is the perfect setting to do as Jamie Oliver does and learn to cook authentic Spanish food using locally sourced ingredients,” says Vanessa Lenssen of GoLearnTo (+44 (0)208 144 5990; GoLearnTo.com ).
