Badillo Grill will offer dishes like Black Angus rib eye aguachile, smoked pork rib with a coffee crust, and family barbecue, while Kloster comes with its roasted machitos, pork belly, and picaña tacos, to name just a few.
Activities
To really feel like you have entered into the Middle Ages, there will be traditional games and activities like archery and ax throwing, bagpipe music, dance, fantasy and fire shows, battles between knights and vikings, and a falconry exhibition.
For the true fans of the Middle Ages, don’t miss the costume contests for adults, children, and even pets, as well as the tournament to find the best barbecue in the region, the royal cook, and the greedy king.
