Cooking workshop festival currently at Conrad

I will blame the organizers for only finding out right now about it, since it started yesterday.

In any case, the Festival Aromas y Sabores runs for three days, with chefs from various countries teaching everything, from olive oil tasting to pastry baking and lots of other stuff. What can you still catch? I am pasting below the list of activities and chefs still to come, through the end of tomorrow.
