At Casa Cabras we got back to basics in a renovated old farm house without electricity, hot water or a toilet! Although this was hard at first we found that it gave us a much needed time of relaxation and reflection and a chance to reconnect with each other after the changes we’ve been through in the past 6 month. We both felt very thankful to have this quiet time together and really enjoyed spending cosy nights by candlelight in front of the log fire. In the mornings we spent our time harvesting olives, which are even now being turned into olive oil at the local olive mill. In total we harvested around 170kg of olives between us and developed very strong hands in the process! Our afternoons were spent harvesting vegetables for our meals and collecting and cutting firewood to keep us warm through the night. The owners of the farm were very laid back and allowed us to take as many days off as we liked. We took this opportunity to visit the nearby seaside town of El Palo and also visited the city of Malaga where we had lots of fun visiting the exotic tree park and the cathedral and where I had lots of fun showing Brian gifts he might like to buy me for my upcoming birthday :-)
