Host offerings
After a life dedicated to marketing, organizing events, restoration and decoration of country houses, translations and even theater production. Lola decided to embark on a new journey that brings together her two passions: cooking and traveling. Once just her hobby, now cooking has turned into a business and passion project. Lola hosts this experience in a cooking studio located within a municipal market, in central Madrid. She has cooked throughout her life, for her family, her friends and for herself, so now she is excited to cook for travelers visiting Madrid. An experience with Lola is a great way to learn about Spanish food, culture, recipes over some interesting conversation and wine. <br><br> “I love receiving travelers from all over the world, sharing recipes and experiences in an intimate and authentic setting.”
