Arrival: A Birthday Celebration Begins in La Mancha
The plains of La Mancha welcomed a special gathering: a celebration of Mark and Joanna Tinworth’s birthday with a group of dear friends. Nestled among sweeping olive groves and golden hills, Finca La Caminera offered more than luxury—it promised a shared experience. Arriving together were Peter and Cara Bradley, Miles and Alison Courage, and James and Annabel Morris—each couple invited to mark the occasion with days of sporting tradition, fine dining, and easy laughter.
From the moment the party arrived, the estate became theirs to explore. The sense of occasion was palpable—not just in the glasses raised at check-in, but in the excitement carried through elegant hallways, sun-drenched terraces, and the whispers of what the days ahead would bring. With the warm Spanish sun and the cool elegance of La Caminera as their backdrop, the celebration began not with speeches or candles, but with friendship, beautiful surroundings, and a sense of relaxed anticipation. This chapter captures the first moments—the laughter over luggage, the indulgent sighs as rooms were explored, and the delight of marking a milestone not with grandeur, but with genuine, shared joy.
