The Captain’s Still Life
Eating with a captain of the Old Tercios brings many surprises.
Welcome to a hero’s establishment.
Between 1584 and 1585, Alexander Farnese completed one of the best campaigns of the War of Flanders. Everything was thanks to the work of a heroic captain, who even at the risk of his life managed to break the siege. His name was Juan de Antwerp, and his fame spread. borders until, after being badly wounded in combat, he decided to return to his homeland.
This is what he tells his diners, as he has opened a restaurant in Villanueva del Corral, a mandatory stop for all veterans returning from Flanders. At a martial pace, he teaches his waiters how authentic veterans spend their time. Now he is looking for a new conquest, Ana’ La Galveña whom he intends to seduce with his fame and an unexpected proposal banquet.
Nothing can usurp true love but he is not a captain who claims to be.
