The beauty of the spring
The lily is one of the jewels of our garden. Both the fields and the exteriors of the house are impregnated with the smell and the colors of the spring. See more photos.
In our village of Darnius every year for these dates we celebrate the contest of wildflowers, a historical event in the area and a beautiful moment to honour the gifts that the forest gives to us during this period of the year.
Have you ever cooked bread?
We cooked bread with spiced flour, water, salt and olive oil. It's delicious!
In addition, we added dried fruits.

Dear bloggers,
We started this blog with the aim of sharing the experiences we have and have had in Can Massot, Darnius.
This summer, on 2 August 2017, we celebrated our anniversary. 18 years ago we started our long-awaited project to open our Bed&Breakfast. After 18 months of hard working, we already wanted to open it. It was an important project but we were very excited about it, we had some good people that made, day by day, our project possible. The entire family helped us as much as they could: my parents, my parents-in-law, my brother, my brother-in-law, and even our two kids who were so young and asked us: we also want to do it, what can we do it?
I helped as much as I could the construction workers and I also restored all the furniture, I was very gratified because it was the furniture of our families, both of them, my husband's family, and my family. First, I enroled to a restoration course to learn more about how to do so and then, I had just to apply it. We had to use soda - it was incredible to see, I had the garden plenty of beds, wardrobes, tables, bedheads, etc., I'm sorry I do not have pictures from that day. It was very nice to try what bedhead I liked most in each room and so with all the furniture, but how beautiful it is when you see that you already have the whole house ready for the tourist inspector to came and give us the official certification "RESIDENCIA CASA DE PAGÈS of the MASIA PG-00169". I still remember that moment as if it was today.
It was a very happy day, the arrival of our first guests, they were a lovely family, Yago and Maite, their son and two twin children... The years have passed, we have known many more families and we have made very good friends, so much, that there are already considered as part of our family.
I will soon explain more about the village and what we do and have done in Can Massot.
See you soon!
