At the end of some 20 kms. of unpaved mountain road, and if you read the signs correctly, you will see the steeple of an abandoned church peeping through bush and oak trees. Congratulate yourself: you have found it! It's a working farm: horses, goats, geese, ducks, even some big turkeys. Some rustic benches in front of the entrace, but in cool weather go inside. To the right there is a bar: at you left a dining area: heavy oak and stone; a welcoming fireplace in a corner. Our small group of four felt at home. There is no printed menu to speak of, but the owner will take his time to tell you what he can offer. We started with some cold beers to eliminate the road dust, then a good serve-yourself selection of Catalan cold cuts and sausages, of course accompanied by roasted farm bread, garlic, over ripe tomatos and olive oil. Yummy! The main dish was duck, slowly simmered, and sausage and beans for the other two. We just managed a desert of mató drenched in honey. The wine was acceptable, the water ice cold. A word of caution: they open only two or three days a week, so better call before you go. I would hesitate to tackle the road at night or in rainy weather, but all in all it's an experience you will not easily forget. We shall be back!
