during lunch a local troupe performs passionate dances
Lunch, asado-style, is being prepared over an iron cross
after lunch there is a ring race: who will collect the ring and present it to one of the ladies ?
The
ranch was founded way back in 1789 by a retired Sergeant Major called Juan Gregorio Girado.
Nowadays the Estancia
caters to tourists and even provides a hotel service.
It is a very nice place to spend a relaxed day on the farm, with a "typical"
non-vegan asado lunch, featuring barbecued meat and Argentine wine, while local singers and dancers perform a traditional show.
In
the afternoon there are gaucho demonstrations like ring races, and a tour of the Estancia's fast premises where
they keep lots
of horses and a pair of very unfriendly llamas.
