TEN MUSEUM HALL 02/13/1910 
If ever you visit Valladolid and you have a little time, it is worthwhile to Mucientes you approach a town of about 700 inhabitants is only 12 km from the city.
Once there is no loss, are clear indications to reach the Museum Hall Paco Díez. You will have the opportunity to visit a museum that houses a large number of instruments that Paco has been collecting over time, coming to him in a thousand ways and different places, and he cared for and maintained with a mime that is sure to appreciate instruments. It's not just a museum. Apart from the current exhibition, to be gradually enlarged, the building also has room for up to one hundred people, where are the concerts that are scheduled and a number of activities that are always centered around traditional, While trying instruments, music or dance. Paco also has ideas to include in the exhibition other musical elements, such as carnival masks used both as traditional festivals from different towns.
All this work and is moving forward thanks to the many efforts of Paco and his wife, Maria José, architects of the project.
A Museum Hall door arrived promptly at the appointed time, 12, from Arrabal de Portillo, where we played the night before the known dates of the range. And after a warm welcome from Paco and a coffee and meet Vicenta, her mother sympathetic, pleasant, started the tour of the museum. Tejoletas, castanets, violins, fiddles, accordions, tambourines, bagpipes groups, flutes, guitars, mandolins and so on were being presented by our host, with many anecdotes and stories about how they got their hands and from where. We spent a very nice manner morning until lunchtime, which accompany Paco, Maria José, his two daughters and Vicenta in the stupendous task to taste the delicious "animals" (so called Paco the lamb that was growing slowly in the wood oven while we saw the museum, and whose manufacture controlled occasionally.)

A little further, Miguel Angel? 
Chatting with Vicenta. Lovely woman. A pleasure to meet you. 
We talked about his famous potato tortillas. We promised one for dinner. And she told us when he traveled, always had their frying pans. Amazing.
A most enjoyable time.
After lunch, the sound test. At the same time that you had stayed with José Alfonso ( Triquel ), we left the table. We were 20 seconds of the room. Curious. This is what I call "comprehensive care." No need to travel or even go out in the same room provided everything we needed, lunch and dinner included. The place where we sleep and our luggage were about six feet from the door leading to the stage. Come on, as we discussed then, we have proved sound in shoes (what is ...). At night we realized that the only ground that Mucientes we walked were scarce two meters separating the van door to the house.
Testing sound. Here you can see the room.
When we finish to finish the show after the concert, Paco was already among stove, preparing a wonderful garlic soup Castilian-style for dinner. While we did some wine and chatted with some friends who had come to the concert and also stayed for dinner the garlic soup and tortilla promised Vicenta.

Happy
Paco with his guitar and his friend Angel's lute gave us a few pieces here and there. A very nice desktop.
to the last detail. The cake also deserved the shot. Do not know how delicious it was ...
That's it. What I say, comprehensive care.
next day at a time reasonable, breakfast and depart for home. With a temperature rather chilly, but warmed the mood after the wonderful weekend and both received warm treatment as Mucientes Arrabal. Well pleased with the van loaded with local products, you already know that we are always happy.
Indeed, in this direction find any information about the Museum Classroom Paco Díez. There will also see an overview of our performance.
Thanks, Paco and Maria José. A kiss for you, and how not to Vicenta.
