Monday Morning Photo - Frailes, Jaen, Traditional Crafts & Wine

You never know what's around the corner! On a visit to the tiny town of Frailes in the Sierra Sur de Jaen about an hour from my holiday rental home Casa Rural El Reguelo and home to a great winery and cheese factory, one of the old village characters had his wares laid out for sale. Some exquisitely and intricately made esparto-grass items. Such skill, I hope he's passed it on.

He then proceded to take out some murky looking bottles, plastic cups and offered us some of his surprising and extremely drinkable home-made wine. I love where I live.


I went to Frailes Gastronomy Fair with some fellow Andalucia Travel Bloggers - Read the post Gastronomy & Wine in Frailes
