In June 2019, euroMind team hosted a group of 16 students from Krosno who were ready to start their internships in various restaurants and bakeries in the city of Ubeda as cooks and pastry cooks.

During their internships the students above many, learnt about the typical Spanish cuisine, tapas, and local specialties, they were assisting in planning and coordinating work in the kitchen, cooking and preparing the meals and keeping the workplace clean. They were washing, peeling, cutting fruit and vegetables on daily basis as well as weighing, measuring and mixing ingredients according to recipes and personal judgment. Moreover, the pasty cooks team were baking, preparing and decorating desserts and cakes and developing their confectionery skills all the time.

The group of pasty cooks wanted to gain experience not only in tasting churros, but also in making them, so they took part in Churros Workshop. They got to know the recipe and techniques to make the perfect churros. Everyone made their own to eat straight away! On the other hand, the group of cooks visited the Centre of Interpretation of Olive Oil to participate in cooking workshop, where the main ingredient was of course the extra virgin olive oil.  All together, they prepared city’s speciality – ochios, together with salmorejo and tortilla de patatas. It was both fun and educational experience.

After scheduled internship programme, they also had many other leisure activities to enjoy their stay in Spain! The group spent one day in Nerja, where they could see the largest stalactite in the world during their visit to the world famous cave. After that, they paid the visit to the one of the most beautiful villages in Spain called Frigiliana. Next week, they went on a trip to Cazorla, learning about its history and its nature. Last but not least, the group visited Granada where they could feel the real spirit of Andalusian region.
