Although we now live in Spain we really wanted to play a small part in the Diamond Jubilee celebrations to mark the 60 year reign of our Queen, so we and a group of our British friends reserved a table for lunch at the Hotel del Santo located at Benaojan Estacion.
This hotel was originally a mill for the grinding of olives and corn, which had been in operation for over 150 years up until the 1950's. It is set in the most idyllic surroundings and is appropriately owned by an English couple Andy Chappell and Pauline Elkin, who bought it in 1986. We tried to create a very English setting with traditional bunting and a fitting table centrepiece featuring flowers and Union Jack flags....
As you can see we had a truly wonderful time; everything was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed an exceptionally delicious meal, had a Royal trivia quiz and sang a selection of patriotic songs. I'm not sure what the Spanish guests of the hotel made of it all and perhaps it's best that we don't know!!
