Olive harvest at La Cazalla de Ronda 2016
November is harvest time at La Cazalla, including our home-grown pears, persimmons, quince and olives.
Our own personal unicorn
Since we came to live at La Cazalla, from time-to-time we have seen a wild white horse roaming in the ancient oak forest on the other side of the gorge. To us, this solo snowy stallion came to have a magical quality, and we started calling him ‘our unicorn’.
Team La Cazalla at Setenil
Cycling with Hike + Bike to Setenil. Brilliant!
Making Fig Jam
This week we are making the most of our figs and blackberries! It’s the first time we’ve made Blackberry Jam and I burnt my mouth in my haste to taste it – fortunately it was worth it!
Homes for our birds
Our clever friend, Alejandro, has made these very cute bird boxes/houses to distribute amongst the trees at La Cazalla. We are looking forward to seeing if our feathered friends like their new homes!
Recycling at luxury villa rental: La Cazalla de Ronda
Recycling is best! Having pruned our oak and olive trees, we wondered what to do with all the cut-off branches. Our wonderful gardener, Manolo, suggested using a chipper to make mulch.
