These are obtained from quality grapes and produced according to the highest standards. Traditionally only available in small villages and the best local venues in Madrid.

    Known to have existed since the Middle Ages and sold for the first time in 1956. Patxaran was initially a homemade liqueur and became popular during the late 19th century. Patxaran is made by soaking sloe fruits, collected from the blackthorn shrub, along with a few coffee beans and a cinnamon pod in anisette.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
