These last few days at the Basia have been intense. A horse riding centre (our riding school)the strings were pulled on the day of the holiday of which last sunday we said goodbye to spring, The jumping contest which had a large number of participants and enthusiastic supporters (photos will be on our website soon), The day ended with victors and winners unfailingly celebrating together.
 In the vineyard our Arturo who we will soon find the occasion to present to you finished the work of binding the grapevines under the hot …
