Over the last couple of months there has been a lot of work going on in one particular local Café-Bar. Located in the village of Barrantes the bar is actually owned by Angela’s family, albeit that they chose not to manage it on a daily basis. Between tenants it was decided to give the place a quick lick of paint, but this rapidly developed into a full blown refurbishment. The interior of the place was completely ripped apart and then rebuilt.

As part of the redecoration the family decided that at least one of the long walls (5½ metres) might make a suitable location for another photo montage, similar to the one that we created in the entrance hall of the Bodega. However, this time, instead of a vineyard and wine making theme, the photos would be chosen to represent the local countryside and people. However, on this occasion I didn’t even need to get my camera out, simply because my computer was already packed with the thousands of photos that I have taken in Galicia over the last 10 years – the difficult part would be to sift through them all and chose some of the best.

The advantage of owning the place is that as part of the contract one of the fundamental conditions imposed by the family on any potential tenant is that the only albariño served must be supplied by our bodega (in the same way that a brewery would impose its beer in one of their properties). As part of the decoration this gave us yet another opportunity to showcase our range. In the picture you can see a display of some of the wines that we sell, but you should take note that the bottles we use are in fact empty, otherwise the temptation for some might be too great!
