...with large tanks outside of them, do you know what is in them?
Pigs, or in this case, over 2,000 piglets. And the smell is overpowering!!
Such a farm near Valderrobres is managed by our friends where we went for a meal to celebrate Joaquin's birthday with his wife, Rosa Marie.
The meal was in their renovated farmhouse, only one room...
...and the cooking was done outside. Today we are having "arroz del huerto" which translates as "rice of the allotment" or "rice garden".
Basically, it is pieces of pork and rabbit on the bone, snails, red peppers and onions fried together then rice and water added and finally garnished with courgette flowers.
While the rice is cooking, we enjoy a first course of prawns and salad with smoked salmon.
To celebrate Joaquin's birthday there is a special cake. May he have many more - delicious!!
Meanwhile, Joaquin works out the complexities of some of his presents!
