\u2018I would never drag anyone to La F\u00e1brica if I wasn\u2019t sure they would be well received\u2019, she says cocking her head, as if she were explaining something obvious. \u2018Ricardo hates etiquette, protocol. His sense of hospitality is closer to the desert Bedouins than to the stupid codes of bourgeois luxury. This is a gathering place where people live, work, and debate with passion. Sometimes all at the same time\u2019. She takes my hand, we pass through a big iron gate and she pulls me towards a courtyard leading into the castle. \u2018Don\u2019t be silly\u2019, she says.
\n\u2018A guy like you is welcome in a place like this\u2019.<\/p>\n
