Bodega time!

Yesterday I went to a bodega up in the mountains with my friends. For those who don't know what a bodega is, it's like a private wine cellar. Here in La Palma, as in many other places of Spain, many people has their own wine yard and they make their own wine.

They make and keep the wine in the bodega, where u go with a bunch of friends to drink wine, Arehucas (Canary Island rum) cola, and eat meat, potatoes and mojo.

Basically u go there to get drunk and eat a lot of food.

+ = Drunkness


This bodega was like a cave, with a big door. No electricity (we connected a lamp to the car battery), up in the mountains, ice cold! But fun :)

Lorena and I managed to get everybody to play drinking games, KINGS, it was really a lot of fun, and everybody got smashed haha! So the whole bodega philosophy did happen :)
