Holidays and enjoying some large amounts of great food usually come hand in hand, especially if the rural accommodation we have booked comes with a barbecue, right?
Having a barbecue in the house is a synonym of enjoying some great meals in group and having tons of fun, where everyone can be part of the experience by helping prepare a delicious homemade meal.
A barbecue will be, no doubt, part of a unique experience since, very often, some of the best memories of your holidays and the best anecdotes, are shared, or happen near a barbecue. If you are thinking about booking a house, take into account whether or not it has a barbecue but remember that if you do, you will need to use it well and with great care.
MAKE SURE YOU CAN USE IT
Many provinces in Spain have some kind of regulation or restrictions when it comes to cooking on barbecues because of the amount of forest fires that strike Spain every year, or because you might be staying in an area with frequent wind gusts that might provoke a fire.
For this reason, before you buy any specific products or start preparing the fire or the barbecue, make sure that there are no prohibitions or restrictions, in order to avoid any last minute surprises.
If the answer is no, then, enjoy your meal!
ENJOY A DIFFERENT MEAL
As we were saying, cooking a barbecue is not just enjoying the characteristic flavour of a grill-cooked meal. In fact, it doesn't even necessarily imply seating down to eat it.
If there is something unique and special about preparing a barbecue, that is when every one – or almost everyone – is part of a chainwork that, in one way or another, helping out with the meat, vegetables and, of course, also with the refreshments.
So now, get ready you and your party to join in the barbecue fun, and to gather your strength with some delicious food.
WHEN EXACTLY YOU ARE STAYING
When it comes to preparing a barbecue at home, we always associate it with laughter, family or friends, and with enjoying the warm temperatures outdoors.
But barbecues are not only great in summer, which means that if you are planning to stay in a rural house during winter or when it rains the most, we recommend you choose a rural accommodation where the barbecue are is under a roof or shelter of some kind and, if possible, next to the eating area that is also roofed, so that you can all enjoy of your barbecue time without needing to worry about the weather.
BRING ALONG A PROPER BBQ COOK
Not everyone can cook a decent barbecue and, the thing is, that although it might seem very easy, cooking in a barbecue requires its own technique.
Okay, maybe it's not that difficult, but you need to be very patient and choose amongst your group the most patient of all, and who can take things slow and easy. It also needs to be someone that is organized and who can plan very well what will be needed to prepare the barbecue.
If you have someone that fits our description, look no further, that person will be your cook.
