together with traditional foods in an informal and popular

atmosphere. Following the example of the cider-makers, bite-sized

toothpick foods known as pintxos were served to counter the

excesses caused by drinking.

Page 65: Catalogo 2012

In the first part of the visit, our chef will give an explication of the workshop,

a short introduction into this particular cuisine and you will go on to create

an elaborate pincho with its own tasting notes.

Afterwards we will divide the group into small working groups and each will

receive the materials and basic ingredients with which to create the

pinchos; 5 or 6 ingredients.

From this point on, each group will begin to create different pinchos using

the ingredients that have been given to them as well as the specific tasting

notes for each one.

To round off the workshop, there will be a blind tasting, that is to say that

one member of each group will try a portion of each pincho, make an

appreciation and give their verdict. For his part, the chef will go over each

one of the tasting notes written by the groups, in order to name the winning

team.

Do you dare to compete with

your collegues in a cocktail workshop-

During the activity of two hours long, you will make two classic

cocktails under the supervision of a professional barman expert

in cocktails recipes.

First of all, an expert master will do a demonstration at the same

time as the members of the group will make their own cocktail.

Everything counts in this part: the time of elaboration of the

cocktail and the delicious refreshing taste of the Caipi-fruits and

the jackass mojito.

In the second part, members will be split in groups of

15 or 20 people and only those who have been chosen

as representatives of the group will enter the fray to

prepare a more complicated cocktail.

PERCUSSION WORKSHOP

Percussion connects directly with participants’ intuition and emotions. This workshop develops team spirit and interaction: Within minutes, participants unite naturally in rhythm, sounding like an orchestra. Groups can be from ten people to several hundred, where participants unite in the rhythm of the "Jembe" drum. Sessions last approximately one hour. Each participant has an authentic “Jembe” drum and with it all of them will embark on a journey of musical and rhythmic exploration. The element surprise and the fact that everything is kept very simple are keys to our success.

Follow the beat with your company events!

Groups find themselves suddenly immersed in a totally new activity producing extraordinary results and fostering a strong sense of non-verbal communication in an extremely enjoyable way with surprising results.

Page 71: Catalogo 2012

Why the "Jembe" drum? The rhythm of the drums connects with everyone, without exception. In the 90's it took the world by storm, because in spite of its extreme complexity, it can be learned very quickly at a basic level. The drum has always been a primary tool of communication in every civilization and every continent across the globe.

The one we use is the “Jembe” drum from western Africa, more specifically the Mandinka area, now Mali-Guinea. These "Jembes" come from an arts and craft company from Bamako, Mali, which carries out environmental reforestation as well as socio-cultural programmes.
