El Cabezo

It’s a simple recipe, but one you’ll love.   Take an old stone mansion with spacious bedrooms in warm colours, cosy sitting-rooms with antique furniture, beamed ceilings and open fireplaces.  Add delicious breakfasts based on farm–fresh produce, followed by walks in verdant countryside among forests, crags and waterfalls.   Season well with the pretty villages of the magical Sierra de Gata, one of Spain’s last unspoiled beauty spots.  Serve chilled.
