Hi from southern Spain

Post: # 235161Post jackieinspain »

Hello :wave:
I'm Jackie and live in South Eastern Spain, in a small village.

My husband and son tend a huerta (Spanish for smallholding) and this is our first year.
We have chickens too.

I found this forum whilst researching recipes for pickled eggs, as our 8 hens lay so many we can't possibly use them all, and despite giving them away we still have loads onhand.

I am looking forward to learning more...................I'm not involved much in the production..............more the usage and storage end.

Best wishes from a very hot Spain....... :flower:

You'll be making people jealous with comments like 'very hot' - it's freezing here, presumably why you moved there?

i've been thru polop many times. we live in valencia but have spent 2 whole summers in benidorm as my girlfriend worked in a hospital there. i wish i could have seen the waterfalls at callosa years ago before coachloads of people started arriving. How cold is that water??. i preferred the cala ti ximo mini beach around the corner from benidorm. a little paradise. we're enjoying these cooler months before another baking!
