My second to last weekend in Madridejos I got an invitation to visit the Safron museum with the secretary from my school. I also received an invitation from another teacher to watch her perform in a folk dance festival in her hometown Consuega.
Here are some pictures from the event. I will be doing a video about the festival!
Azafron freshly picked
I completely understand why this spice is so expensive now. Every flower gives about 2-3 threads. And it is hand picked. It actually a ton of work to get just 1 grams’ worth so imagine 5!
me 🙂
Expensive! Say about $34 for that tiny bottle!
Museum poster
You can pick 2 to 3 threads from the flower. No wonder it is so expensive! AND it stains your hands yellow.

I had a great time! What’s your favorite picture?
Okay, now I get it. I knew it was expensive but the work to get it. I did not know it was s hard. The hands with the yellow fingers picking the flower I’d my favorite, but they are all awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.
