History of the model

Today we travel to Spain, specifically to the most rural areas of the Valencian community, to tell a short fictional story about spies and paellas.

Paella is a traditional dish from the East of Spain and famous in many parts of the world. Declared as a Cultural Asset in Spain, it is known that the first documented reference to Valencian rice appears in a recipe manuscript from the beginning of the 18th century. And very important, the main ingredient is rice, the most consumed food on the planet:
 
“On the outskirts of a small town there is an old manor house, now converted into a restaurant, where its specialty, among other things, is Paella. It is said that it was here where the first ingredients of such a delicious dish were mixed.

Its fame was such that, in our story, a spy was called to know the secrets of the famous dish, but what she didn't know is that the biggest secret of paella is to enjoy it in company”

The model

This 17th century manor house has been modified to be a restaurant, although it maintains practically all the elements of the period. In some of the arcades we can see over the keystone of the arch, images of recipes printed on old banners.



The building is modular and is divided into three stories where the old carriage entrance on the ground floor has given way to a rural shop and a restaurant.

We go to the first floor and see a large room on two levels where there is space for a bedroom, a warm area for reading or resting and another higher area for access to the balconies. Also, and to give playability in this floor, is hidden a secret envelope with the “ingredients of paella” (pic.12).







Already on the roof and accessed by a folding wooden ladder, we reach the radio room, with a small attic.
The awning can be modified for a shorter one using simple clips and changing the length of the support bars (last image).

It could be a good set due to its cultural contribution and the detail added to facades, windows, roofs and balconies, among other elements. Added to this is the playability of modular buildings, adding a fold-out wall (kitchen) for better access to even the most delicate or/and most furnished areas.

The model contains approximately 3350 pieces with 8 minifigures, including a baby in a stroller or a spy with a camera and headphones, among others.

Thank you very much for your time :)
