An interesting weekend
Hoping to pick up some ideas for our cortijo, this weekend we drove north past Almeria to a project demonstrating alternative technologies. We expected to be able to see various demonstrations of solar drying, solar cookers, dryland crops and so on. Well, it wasn't quite what we expected - it turned out to be somewhat of a new age gathering rather than demos of technologies. But we did have some great vegetarian food, Rodney made some sourdough bread (with the help of a tri-lingual English-Spanish-German five-year-old) and we were given cuttings of lemon grass, mulberry, carob and fig. Oh well!
