El Molle
On Tuesday I went to El Molle with some friends. El Molle is about 20 min away in the Valley Elqui. It’s a tiny little town with a church, a couple hotels and a wonderful restaurant, which is where we were headed. We went to Los Hornitos del Molle for parrilla- which is a bunch of grilled meat served to the table in a clay oven type thing with hot coals in it. It was wonderful. We sat outside in the gardens that surround the pool that you can use after eating for an additional 1000 pesos. We opted not to go swimming, but had great food and wine. Afterwards we went on a walk around town and stopped at this little building that was having an art show. They had these beautiful diaguita influenced paintings done by a local artist from La Serena. My parents are coming next Sunday, and I think I’ll take them here for some great chilean barbecue!
I love the meat!!!!
Hanging over someone’s fence we found grapes and bougainvillea, I only wish I could have seen their whole garden…
A map painted on one of the sides of a hotel. Thought you might enjoy it.
The church, it’s the first thing you see entering town.

That restaurant looks awsome! I might have to request it when we come to visit ; )
