Lynn cousins before the Vancouver contingent flew back home

Last day! On the hidropedalo

Feasting on what we harvested

Sweet corn, squash, aubergine, fir pink apple potatoes and tomato relish (tomatoes, garlic and onion) with our barbecued pork (and blackberries from Encarni). It wasn't really cold but Corina borrowed a fleece against the cooler evening air.

A well-deserved pre-prandial

Harvesting all done

We stopped at Pedro Calvo to fill up the water bottles with spring water - 20 minutes from the snow water.

Evening falls Rodney, Lawren and Stephanie watch evening fall over the Contraviesa and Lanjarron valley from the terrace at the cortijo.

The sweetest sweetcorn Sweetcorn is sweetest when picked and put straight in the pot. Lawren tastes the first cob of the season from the cortijo.

Farmers at work Rodney and Lawren harvesting potatoes at the cortijo. The potatoes - pink fir apple - are delicious as a salad.
