At this time, if it wasn't because in our privileged world, we also have to keep on living, with all the consecuences that life implies, it would seem obscene to talk about good cooking, exquisite presentation and ideal atmosphere which is what we offer at La Cazalla de Ronda
The dimensions of the tragedy in Haiti has stared at us,lucky human beings of the first world, in an accusing sort of way, forcing us to look inside ourselves and see how fatuous and superfluous most of our cares are, how many prerogatives we posssess by the mere geographical accident of our birth, and how much of our suffering is due to the fact that we want more and better of whatever, it does not matter what, while so many others extended through three continents would be happy with a small part of what we throw away.
And this is so everyday of their miserable lives, without any disaster. It is when disaster comes that we are forced to look at them, because it is news all over the world, and news is a very coveted good, for it is buying and selling what makes our society even richer.

All of us will do whatever we can to help, I'm sure, but will we and our politicians remember when the news is not news anylonger?
