May 17, 2024: This morning, we filmed at Quesos Artisanos Villarejo, which makes award-winning cheeses - especially Manchego cheese. We met with Miguel Romero Saiz, who gave us a tour of the facility. He showed us all the steps of making their cheese. Afterwards, we did a tasting of their award-winning cheese.

Afterward, we went to a nearby farm where they milk sheep for their cheese. Local farmer Jose Andres Prieto Valencia showed us how he herds the sheep and milks them.

May 16, 2024: We started the day at the Centro Ecuestre Los Caireles. There we met our hosts Miguel Angel and his brother Jesus, who own and run the farm. (Miguel Angel wore a black vest.) The Centro is a horse back riding school. We shot pics at their farm and then headed to the town of Consuegra. On the mountain overlooking the town, there is a castle and several windmills. We shot pics and video of Miguel Angel and Jesus riding around the windmills and the castle. This area is notable because it is where the fictional Don Quixote rode around in Miguel de Cervantes’ famous novel. Afterward, we returned back to El Centro where we filmed our hosts riding by grape vineyards and olive groves to the nearby Villafranca de los Caballeros lagoons.
