Restaurant Campesino, Barlovento

Family meals at home, fiestas in public plazas, bbq's in the woods and restaurant dining are all the food of life to Palmerans.  In fact, there is a saying here which goes along the lines of,  'We shall have a fiesta - but first we must eat and drink!'   So you can imagine the buzz of excitement when a new restaurant starts up and it was hardly suprising to see a gathering of cars around the newly opened 'El Campesino' restaurant in Barlovento.

Actually, El Campesino opened a few years back as a brand new restaurant, appeared to do well, built a conservatory extension - then closed.  I don't know why but it was certainly a shame.  It then sat empty for several years so we were especially pleased to see it open again last week.  Needless to say, we took little pursuasion to eat there and whilst the photo appears to show a deserted restaurant, it was in fact quite busy out of shot.

I hope you get the opportunity to enjoy a meal there - we certainly enjoyed ours!
