The finca

A family restaurant that became a finca

The grandparents opened Restaurante El Tablero on the San Miguel road more than fifty years ago. Three generations on, the finca next door is for celebrating.

  1. The heart stage between palms by day, the horizon behind it

17:45 · Arrival

You arrive among mountains

The finca sits on the main road through San Miguel, nearly seven hundred metres above the sea. Parking is free, and the welcome begins at the gate.

The couple arrive on foot with their witnesses, guests around them and the hills behind

18:45 · The ceremony

A heart open to the sea

Civil ceremonies take place on the terrace, beneath the pergola of the heart, with the horizon on the other side. And if you marry in church, the finca is waiting for you afterwards.

A ceremony at the heart: white gazebos, seated guests and an aisle of rugs and bougainvillea

19:30 · Drinks reception

The drinks taste of strawberry

Jugs of strawberry daiquiri, soft drinks for the children and trays straight from the house kitchen, with the lawn and the palms all around.

The couple toast with strawberry daiquiri beside the drinks table

“Our coeliac guests could eat without a worry.”

21:06 · Sunset

Pink over the Atlantic

The sun sets behind you, to the west. Ahead, the sky over the sea turns pink, then blue, and the heart switches on its light.

21:30 · Dinner

Home cooking, long tables

The kitchen is the one the grandparents started: carne fiesta, roast chicken, papas arrugadas and quesillo with palm honey. Long or round tables, under cover and open to the garden.

A long table with wild flowers and bread at every place

Long tables

The whole family at one table, with wild flowers and bread at every place.

A round table dressed in white on the covered terrace

Round tables

White linen and conversation ten at a time, on the covered terrace.

At night the heart stage lights up in purple and green

23:00 · Dancing

The heart becomes a dance floor

At night the heart stage lights up in purple and green, and the party goes on until one.

“He lets you make your special day whatever you want, so it’s truly yours.”

1am · The end

The finca switches off the heart

At one the lights go out, one by one. Below, the coast stays lit until dawn.

“Every one of our expectations was far exceeded.”
