Since years we promised Monika and Tobi to help to harvest their mangos. This year it comes true. The Finca MonTor is located inthe hills outside of Nerja at the Spanish Costa del Sol. After driving 2300km we reach the Finca. We have to park our camper half way from the mainroad to the house; the road is too steep and in bad condition. |
But even so the Fince is a paradise of flowers because of Monika care. |
At 5.30 after a siesta we start again. The sun has wandered around the hill and trees lie in the shadow but the temperature is still at 32°. By the time you can feel if the fruit is round or flat. At 7 o'clock we have harvested 36 boxes - 17kg each. |
. We drive into the mountains to a tiny village called Acebuchal. At the time of General Franco here sat the rebells. Nowadays the village is restored for the tourists. In the small bar we get delicious tapas for lunch. |
