We found a lovely place in the hills of Santa Teresa : Lola Cafe Atelier. Lola is an artist who produces lots of colourful and playful thinks, for kids and their rooms : garlands, little frames, hair clips, jewellery, felt crowns, etc. The best of her creations is a mini stove/oven made out of recycled steel container, bottle and jar taps. My daughters had an incredible amount of fun playing at Lola’s. Like being back to the good old times when toys were invented and created, not manufactured.
