HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND THANKS TO ALL OUR LOVELY VISITORS, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Thanks for following the blog!

It give me a lot of pleasure to share our experiences and photos with you and do hope you will find some great hints and guides not only in Spain but also on our trips to Morocco, Tunisia, Italy, Turkey and Portugal.
We have been living in Extremadura for 11 years now and  still discovering hidden gems; a village, a walk, a building, a recipe, a view. Lots more coming up in 2015.

You could also check the new site for the other houses belonging to friends which are available for renting in our special little area of the sierra www.extremadura-rural-retreats.com 
I am adding new information and photos throughout the year.

If you are interested in cooking you could consider one of our cooking holidays 4 - 7 nights either at Finca al-manzil or at the wonderful Palacio de Piedras Albas in Trujillo.

Our walking holidays have grown and flourished and now have quite some acclaim.

Finally please spread the word and add the blog to your facebook page or in any other ways that are possible in these miraculously technical times, it would be most appreciated.

Hope you will be among our visitors in 2015, please contact me at any time  with  questions or comments. finca_al_manzil@yahoo.com
