Notes from the house

Truffle from the hills, slow-cooked lamb and the first oranges from the coast.

Every November the whole village stops for the harvest. Here is what it looks like from our kitchen.

Flour from Alcañiz, a starter that is older than the hotel and a wood oven that takes an hour to heat.

No car needed. From half an hour along the river to a full day in the Ports.

The arches, the press stone and a door nobody could open. Seven years of deciding what stays.

Blankets, a flask and ten minutes up the road. Why August is the best month to look up.
