Day 5/2

The second part of the day was devoded to visit the CCS Josè Martì. The difference between this coop and the previous one is that in this case there a number of indipendent (private) farmers that put their produce together to get a better deal. This time the meeting was different from the previous ones; instead that around a table the speaker was standing on a little stage. Also sometimes the members of this coop where contradicting one the other and this did not help the work of the translator Jesus. After this sort of strange meeting we were offered a coffee and invited to visit a member of the cooperative just few jards away.

The latter was a pleasant surprise, the farmer was very welcoming and entertaining, after visiting the finca (farm) we were invited to a little party with in order drinks food and music. A very wonderful experience that well worth the long travel. This was as explained by our guide the highlight of the FT tour, but the tour is certainly not over yet there are 10 days of travelling and visiting still to go.
