Yesterday we spent the day in the old small village of Villavieja de Yeltes. It’s the village that my in-laws hail from and when I say small, I mean small. Population is officially under 1,000 and I think most of that is during the Summer months because it is quite quiet in the Winter.
The Mr’s father keeps a house here with a small “huerta” in the back. It’s a plot of land where he grows it all: from potatoes to tomatoes from apples to melons. Talk about organic goodness.
So, have a great first weekend of the year and I will see you back here on Monday!
What a quaint little village! I love that your father in law grows his own veggies. I bet with knowing that you brought the veggies directly from the earth to the table they taste even better. Have a great weekend!
Oh my god. I am in love! I love small towns like that, and the fact that they have all that land to grow all that delicious food…when can I visit? I’d have a hard time leaving if I were you. xo
That’s so lovely – I hope you got your fill of fresh produce. Happy 2013 as well!
wow, santa that looks and sounds amazing. i think i could languish there forever. it looks so romantic, so traditional and serene. i spend lots of time dreaming of visiting places such as this and how fortunate you have family there! enjoy!
Spain is so pretty, I was lucky enough to fly into Seville years ago and then we had to get a cab to go up into the hills – Algamitas, a tiny whitewashed village near Ronda. What a beautiful part of the earth, you are so lucky to be able to visit! Happy New Year! xo
Wonderful pictures! We are thinking of going to Spain next fall – now I’m intrigued!
It’s so pretty there, and quiet on a vacation isn’t a bad thing. I hope you are having a great trip!
Que lindó y tranquilo ese lugar de España que tu muestras !!! Un sueño
Oh that garden is the stuff of dreams! How very beautiful! And I am so jealous of the endless blue skies, although I wouldn’t expect anything less from Spain. Hope you are having a wonderful time Santa!
After NJ and NY this town must feel really really tiny. But it looks like a very beautiful rural town.
Hope your return flight goes ok.
Happy New Year Santa, it’s good to be back in the world of blogging. What a gorgeous village, I love the wrought iron gates and balustrades. Enjoy x
What a pretty town! I wish I could nip out back and pick some fruit for a snack, very jealous!
Organic goodness indeed, wow sooo much land to plant so much healthy yummies.
