The Centro de Mayeteria Roteño is a small farm on the outskirts of Rota. The farm has historic structures used by the farmers from several hundred years ago. The farm’s name originates from the produce being ready for market in May instead of June when all the other farms would have produce ready. The cultivation was all done by hand and in small plots of land. The main parts of the farm are still used as a community garden that locals grow all sorts of fruits and vegetables. They also have several horses, chickens, a pony and a donkey. The donkey was very friendly and Owen thought the donkey was very funny. The tour was by the Rota Tourism office that we also rode an open train from within the city out to the farm. The farm also built a nice playground that Owen also loved climbing all over. As part of the tour we made Arranque. The basic ingredients are bread and tomatoes. It is a somewhat acquired taste as it is also eaten with stale bread crusts. It is a fun local food.
