Life is good at Casa Amelia




La vida es buena en Casa Amelia.......







My friend Scarlett and her husband Chris recently opened their brand new venue at La Finca del Castillo Arabe, which is a rural retreat among orange and olive groves in the Lecrin valley. Scarlett whose enthusiasm always inspires me, has a lot of projects for their new venue. La Finca offers flexible accomodation from self-catering to full board and is also an organic farm. Scarlett who is a food lover plans has moved her catering business Casa Amelia to La Finca and plans to continue cooking classes and already started to organize food events at the finca. I missed the first one when I was in Paris but I went to her brunch last sunday and had a wonderful time. Even if the weather didn't cooperate - we had thunder and rain in the morning, a glass of cava (Spanish champagne) and the delightful and hearty food prepared by our hosts and a lively jazz band sufficed to make us feel happy.
Yes, life is good at La Finca....If you're around and want to attend her upcoming events or if you feel like a peaceful and relaxing vacation in Andalusia, check Scarlett and Chris site here.

Mon amie Scarlett et son mari Chris ont récemment inauguré leur nouvelle Finca del Castillo Arabe, qui est une retraite rurale en plein milieu des orangers et des oliviers dans la vallée de Lecrin. Scarlett dont l'enthousiasme m'inspire toujours, a plein d'idées et de projets pour le futur. Casa Amelia est un B&B et aussi une ferme écologique. Scarlett est une passionnée de cuisine et l'un de ses projets est d'organiser des cours et aussi des dîners ou déjeuners. J'ai raté sa soirée d'inauguration quand j'étais à Paris mais je suis allée au brunch dimanche dernier qui était très agréable. Même si le temps n'était pas trop coopératif - tonnerre et pluie le matin - le cava (le champagne espagnol) et toutes les bonnes choses préparées par nos hôtes, nous ont bien requinqués, avec en prime un petit orchestre de jazz très sympa.
Oui, la vie est belle à la Casa Amelia. Si vous êtes dans les parages et souhaitez venir aux prochains évènements ou si vous avez envie d'un grand bol d'air dans notre belle campagne andalouse, vous pouvez consulter le site de Scarlett et Chris, ici.


Whatever your plans are for this week end
have a wonderful time !

Dear Lala,
So good to hear from you and what a beautiful place your friends have.
I've still never been to Spain and must come very soon.
Yes, it's quite crazy that it's SNOWING here in New York.
Happy Halloween.

Hugs
