Epicurean Roads
Our visit to Spain was truly a trip of a lifetime, special because of the personal touch and expertise provided by Gerry Dawes because of his overall knowledge of Spain and the “Gerry connections.” Our experience of Spain was unconventional from the moment we arrived. We met so many “real” people that shared their businesses, their families, their love of Spain and their generosity with us. They opened their places of business and homes just to accommodate us which undoubtedly made every aspect of our trip memorable.
The food and wine we sampled were out of this world and returning home to reality, we have been unable to duplicate it…

San Sebastián
The three days in San Sebastian with Inaki were great. He’s a wonderful guide with a good sense of humor, loads of energy, and great knowledge of the area. The pintxos tour was delicious. And when we did our own pintxos tour a couple of days later, we realized how important local knowledge is! We enjoyed the winery visit and lunch in the gastronomic club, too. Thanks for helping us have a wonderful visit to Spain!

Cooking in Bilbao
Our food was masterfully prepared and was stunning, simply stunning; we have all promised to try to emulate the recipes at home. I would recommend this in a heartbeat...Thank you, what a gem we found…
