Casa Crespo is Oaxaca in its kitchen. Tradition lives there, where chef Oscar Carrizosa, (originally from the Mixteca region) mixes the ingredients of the 16 ethnicities of Oaxaca with the original seasoning that he inherited from his grandma. It´s the perfect place to get to know the flavors and aromas of Oaxacan food in the classes that Oscar gives. To taste a good cup of coffee or a hot chocolate at Casa Crespo while getting ready for your market tour is also a good start to approach Oaxacan cuisine.

Oscar, who is very friendly, also shows how to smell and identify the aromas that come of the dishes. He presents menu options and the students decide what they would like to cook. There is no fixed menu. He teaches how to cook 3 types of tortillas, 3 types of salsa, an appetizer, soup, mole, dessert and drink. Dishes that strive to remain in the taste buds and memory of those who love good eating.

The only way to truly learn about mezcal production, is to participate in all or as many states of production as practicable, alongside the palenqueros (distillers) and their family members. In this way one best begins to appreciate the hard work which goes into making a bottle of mezcal. Of course in the day we have breaks, and lunch (optional and extra) at a local rural eatery serving traditional Oaxacan fare, and there will be opportunities to sample upwards of 30 mezcals, which can be purchased at a fraction of retail, from some of the same producers which sell to bars, restaurants and mezcalerias in Oaxaca and elsewhere throughout Mexico. Cut agave in the field, fill the oven, empty the oven, prepare the sweet baked agave for crushing, crush by hand or with the horse and tahona, fill and empty the fermentation vats, then distill. You do it all (as much as we can reasonably arrange), working alongside indigenous Zapotec producers, and their families.

Oaxaca es una ciudad mágica. Los cielos son de un azul profundo en el corazón del valle. Mujeres en huipiles bordados, casas de colores, flores en los árboles, desfiles y la algarabía de la vida oaxaqueña adornan las calles. Y por supuesto, no puede faltar el arte callejero.
Pasearemos en bicicleta por 3 barrios de la ciudad visitando lugares interesantes, como talleres de gráfica y galerías y por supuesto, encontraremos en el camino arte callejero. Está por todas partes: grandes murales, esténciles, carteles. Los artistas oaxaqueños son diversos y muy talentosos. Las calles de Oaxaca son un museo al aire libre.

Durante el paseo tendremos tiempo para compartir una bebida o snack local y orgánico.
