The 4th World Market at Fuentespalda

The Amas de Casa groups from villages in the Matarraña region, as well as many other organisations, each had a stall at the IV Mercado del Mundo at Fuentespalda.



The theme for the Amas de Casa groups was to produce a regional postre or sweet dish. These were offered for sale throughout the day and in the afternoon the dishes were photographed by a professional photographer for the 2013 calendar for the area.


On offer from Torre del Compte were Torrijas and Vino de Nueces. Basically Torrijas are white bread soaked in milk then squeezed out, shaped, coated in beaten egg then deep fried. And who said the Mediterranean diet was healthy! But they are delicious!! The Vino de Nueces, or Nut Wine, was also home made.

You never know what will be on offer at these events and the final entertainment of the day was a display of oriental dancing by Ana Lorenz.

Quite a day out to remember.

Acupuncture! Stop smoking!

Over two months ago a friend of ours underwent a course of acupuncture in order to kick his habit of smoking those superb small Spanish cigars.

He was very determined to quit and felt the pins applied
to both ears really helped curb the cravings!

Has it worked?

Now, after 2 months...


...no!
