Staying at Phil's unique farmhouse property is a brilliant way to escape the stresses of modern life.
We had a most incredible time during our week and would happily have stayed much longer. From the welcoming music fiesta night and barbeque, through donkey cart rides, tumbling acrobats in the local town square and a reggae band in the nearby hermitage, plus our own trips in Basque country and a long hike with Phil in the mountains, there was activity all the way. Even if Phil felt we had spent a week doing nothing.
Living a more simple life, with fresh food from the garden to accompany home-made breads, yoghurt and preserves helped to make the wind-down complete.
Our room was very comfortable, with extra reading material on hand. The shared kitchen, bathroom and front garden sit-out were perfect for the two of us plus Phil and one other guest.
A word of warning: it was August, yet still got chilly on some nights. If you enjoy crisp air, bring adequate clothing; if you want to see the hills, bring suitable footwear and a coat. Otherwise, let Django and Momo (los burros) take the strain while you work those unknown muscles!
I still can't believe what a life-affirming experience this has been.
Hasta pronto...
