WORKSHOPS JUNE 9th
to JUNE 12th

On Monday morning at 11 a.m. We departed from Coimbra and made
our way to Galicia onour Foodprint bus.
Before arriving at our destination, Betanzos, we stopped in
Santiago de Compostela for a
group picture (and to recover a lost passport). Everything had
begun in Santiago at a contact
semminar in November 2011.
We arrived in Betanzos at six in the afternoon and after
checking in, we had a guided tour of
the city and our first dinner in Galicia where our colleagues
were able to taste Padrn peppers for
the first time.
