An ode to a stay at Finca Arboleda

Vera — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 14:51:40 +0000

Fiona who left here yesterday wrote this ode to her stay, we liked it!

Finca Arboleda In November

I never would have thought it

Expectations rarely high

Hats off to Mick & Pirkko though

And here’s the reason why

Seclusion, comfort, taste and style

It’s rare you must agree

I recommend you stay a while

And when you do, you’ll see

We came here in November

When the Olives start to fall

We helped out with the harvest

Well, just half a shift, that’s all

An invitation to the press

A mountain drive away

Then tasting Oil with bread and cheese

Amazing by the way

So all hail Mick & Pirkko

We’ve loved our Spain debut

I’ve almost finished writing so

Let’s get on with week two

I must just make a reference

To Stig the Dog, it’s true

In a certain kind of light

Looks just like a Kangaroo!

Well we pressed the Olives yesterday. 760 Kg which gave us 194 litres.

It was a glorious warm, dry week, so lucky, again.

Olive picking in progress

Vera — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:58:47 +0000

This years harvest is in progress, warm, sunny and 27º.

The 1st 2 days have yielded 609Kg, one day of picking to go and

then off to the press in Lubrin on Friday.

Time for a G&T I believe!

Perfect for Golf

Vera — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 09:24:50 +0000

We have 5 golf courses within easy reach of Finca Arboleda and with the weather still in the mid 20′s it’s a perfect time to make use of them.

A guest of ours, John Dempster, won the mid week competition at Cortijo Grande last week. Which proves that even Everton fans can

have some sporting success!

Asprodalba facelift

Vera — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:39:56 +0000

Close up Butterfly

Asprodalba painted

Asprodalba are one of our neighbours, it was the first centre for adults with learning difficulties in Andalucia. They do great work there, in fact, our tiled logo of the Orange trees was made there.

Well they’ve given themselves a fantastic face-lift as the pictures show.

Their logo is a Butterfly with a slightly damaged wing.

Actually it’s the back not the front they’ve painted so i guess it’s not strictly a face-lift but a ??
