Open your eyes. You have come this far to live one of those fleeting moments that last forever. Open your eyes, forget everything else. Feel this unique instant. You are about to enter a different universe — a home, a memory filled with the present and radiant with the future. A unique place where gastronomy — understood as a concept in which flavour, history, beauty and emotion coexist — will take you on a journey where every sense leads the way… towards happiness.

 

To open your eyes. We open our eyes when we wake, at the start of a new day, after dreaming. We open our eyes to feel to the fullest, to spread our wings and fly, when everything lies within reach, in that instant when all is still to be discovered. We open our eyes right after risk, adventure, pleasure. We open our eyes to realise what we have, just before we begin to truly live.

To live.

To live the present in its totality, unique, absolute, radical. The present we hold here and now. We open our eyes to cry with emotion, to live, to breathe, to shine, to feel. You are about to experience a gastronomic poem illuminated by emotion. A path to happiness. As Neruda once said: what other destiny does a poet hope for his work?

​

I invite you on a journey through a day in the Madrid highlands. A journey through my memories, through the life of a house, a family, a village… A journey to be happy, and to leave this house better than when you arrived. A moment to open your eyes, close them, open them once again… and live.

​

Thank you for coming to our home — may you be happy.​​

Open your eyes, everything you dreamed of… was true.
