The farmstead “El Machistre” is a privileged spot to host cultural and social events, doted with the adequate technical elements to use in conventions, work meetings, shootings or social and family events; a special opportunity to be surrounded by more than 500 years of history. Any event can also be combined with a guided tour of the rest of the farmstead.

“El Machistre” is also perfect for hosting exhibitions, and has available a catering service, custom designed for the client and the special needs that each event requires. Nowadays, the farmstead hosts the Museum of the “Horchata” and “chufa”, as an integrated part of the property and its grounds. It is the exact representation of the lifestyle of those days in the area. When visiting the museum, the guest will be able to understand the meaning of this tradition, and learn the creation process of the “Horchata”, and how the “chufa” crops are taken care of.

In addition, the farmstand is in the same condition that it was nearly 400 years ago, and the visit to the most representative rooms is allowed. This way, the visitor will be able to admire the “Valencia from the 18th Century”; the chapel, the kitchens, the stately rooms, the old Arab tower…

Last but not least, on the area of the old watering reservoir, there is a museum dedicated to the vegetable gardens, full of vintage tools related to the Valencian agriculture. This would be the best way to learn about the traditional farming methods.

When it comes to the farmstead grounds, the most important crop in the area would be the “chufa” (Cyperus Esculentus), from which, after a laborious process, the delicious “Horchata” is obtained. This is a one-of-a-kind product, and it is considered as a reward for the work that the Valencians have put into this precious element all through the years.

“The ‘Machistre’ farmstand opens its doors to anyone interested in getting to know better the golden history of the Valencian countryside lifestyle”
