Skordalia and Walnut Pesto
As clean white linens blow in the warm breeze behind me, I sit at this bar in the middle of an orange grove chatting with Ingrid.

Do you ever feel like some things are just meant to be? Sometimes, not having a plan can lead to the most wonderful and unexpected experience… While exploring the area around Tolo, we came upon this hidden oasis set in the center of an orange plantation. Something about the sign just made us pull over and walk down this…
