Raicilla

Got some in San Sebastian last trip. It is really good. Very smooth but has the kick of the stuff from El Tuito. It was not the new regulated Racilla.

Is San Sebastian far from PV?? Looking to go to some out of town places anyway...What kind of town is it?

Amazing little mountain town.

I would venture there are 500-1000 residents...at one time it was home to 25K during the Silver and Gold Boom.

We stayed here and loved it...

they can probably arrange a driver to shuttle you up there and back for a fee, if you would like. It is not the 4 seasons- but amazing none the less.

The tours are fine...but we felt like we were watching a Disney land tour group move through as we mixed right in with the locals that spend the day with us showing us the \"real\" town!

There is something about staying in a nearly 2 century old hacienda.

The place is alive, if you know what I mean.





:P

And how far is El Nogalito? These two places are there?? Not sure how badly I want this stuff...lol..although I do have a friend who lives in PV and he has a car. Maybe I will ask him to pick some up for me!

This place looks incredible. We are in PV for two weeks and did want to overnight somewhere else. Maybe this is the place to go...Anything else to explore here? I prefer not to go on the tours as they are to....touristy...lol I know, I know...I am a tourist...

What is Machacha??

What is Machacha?? A spiced, sun dried, chopped/shredded beef.

Usually found breakfast with eggs (Machaca Con Huevos) and fresh salsa.

It is also used in some lunch/diner combination...

I rarely pass on it if i see it, there are so many different ways to prepare and use it...I love it. Never disappointed no matter where I have ordered it.

Le Bistro in PV has it...it is wonderful.

El Nogalito is just before La Estancia, where the road to San Sebastian branches off the main highway.
Montebello (previously Real y Minas) in San Sebastian has, IMO, the best Italian food in Jalisco.

We are thinking we should spend a night in the villa. Do you know if it is hard to get in?? Do we have to make reservations quite a bit ahead of time?

The raicilla sounds delicious...lol....I am a tequila girl and I remember the smokey taste of this liquor. Also the serious kick..to be ejoyed with friends only!

New article on Raicilla, from moonshine distillate to an accepted beverage.

Things have changed a lot these last years.
