Description
Together with my son we run a small chiringuito (open-air bar/cafe/restaurant) on our finca on the edge of the small hill town of Montanchez in Extremadura. We have olive and fig trees on the finca and we are also trying to grow all our own vegetables. On top of that we have a petanque pitch and have plans to resurrect an old mini-golf course for customers of the chiringuito.
We have 3 dogs, medium to large in size, one of which has recently had a litter of gorgeous puppies, some cats and a few chickens.
