Social Impact

This guided walking tour reveals the diverse and interesting background of Cork City Centre. It highlights the maritime, merchant and social history of Ireland's second City. The tour is guided by local professionals with insights and stories that the travel guides miss!

During the tour of approximately 3 hrs. We will discover together the magic, history and local traditions. We will interpret symbols, signs and buildings that tell us about the most important and outstanding events that the city has suffered, such as floods. We will walk through the underground streets and alleys full of history and legends and at the end we will taste a traditional regional drink. In this tour, travelers will be able to live an experience like a local, such as tasting a delicious handmade snow, they will know the most famous meeting points such as Plaza San Fernando and Plaza San Roque, a favorite place for artists and bohemians. They will visit Baroque-style temples such as El Templo de Belén y de la Compañía, which tell us about miscegenation and Catholic conversion. Finally, we will finish right in front of the majestic Teatro Juárez in the main garden with a beautiful reflection about this beautiful city.

Our tour focuses on making social impact on local communities. We hire skillful floral artisans from nearby communities, where many residents could not afford English language classes. Teaching floral handicraft to foreign guests is their opportunity to learn English and earn income at the same time. On the other hand, we offer a hands-on workshop which you will need to stab many Thai jasmines into a skewer. It is very challenging to “not losing track”, i.e. to align the top flower with the bottom one throughout a skewer. Here are the highlights of our tour: 1. Walk in the flower market to explore numerous flower selections. 2. Lotus folding workshop with a local seller. 3. Visit Kalayanamitr Temple, a smoothing blend of Thai and Chinese Buddhism. 4. 90 minutes of floral workshop (Garland & Bai Si) with Thai artisans. 5. Visit Baan Kudi Chin Museum, the learning place about Siam–Portuguese lineage.

Via Cocina combines social transformation and healthy eating with delicious cooking classes, and many say the project’s inspiring story is worth the trip alone. I've traveled to 70+ countries as an international development volunteer since 2003, and this is my life project coming to fruition! When you book an experience with us, the proceeds directly support Via Cocina activities, subsidizing cooking classes and training for low income community members who cannot afford to pay market value. We even show you what past activities have helped us accomplish, and how your participation and contribution will have impact on the project's future development. But above all, it's a very relaxed, fun opportunity to share stories and flavors in the kitchen, and most guests leave with a time-saving trick or two that changes the way they cook for the rest of their lives!

My name is Yoly. Four years ago I visited Morocco for the first time and fell completely in love with this beautiful country, especially Marrakech. After this I started coming back again and again until I decided to move here. In these years I have been involved with many social causes, especially in defense of women and children. I also realized that although tourism is a very important sector in the country, unfortunately money stays in everyone's hands, except in the hands of those who offer the service, than those who need it most. For that reason I decided to unite my love for this country and my passion for social causes and create a group of experiences (the same ones that make me fall in love every day with these lands), which not only show the best of Marrueco, but also that they impact your premises economically and socially. This is a unique opportunity to impact your next trip in Marrueco.
