Do you hear that?

That's the sweet, sweet sound of the beginning of the Porpo's Almanac.

As always, I'm your host, Andy, with my co-host, Elliot.

It's winter, and we're cold and miserable and drinking heavily to pass the time.

Or are we?

I don't know.

No, we're drinking, and it is cold as fuck.

Single digits, so I'm definitely hitting the whiskey.

Yeah, so to pass the time, we're going to go on a trip.

A trip to the warm Iberian coast.

Common misconception going somewhere warm is a reprieve from the wintertime.

Also, I didn't pack.

Where we're going, you don't need to pack clothes.

I'm not sure how I feel about nude beaches.

I get that, but I meant imagination.

We're going to be talking about the Spanish De Hases,

a 3,000-year-old agricultural system that's still in practice today.

It's traditionally seen as a method to maintain like pasture and grasslands and extremely dry climates.

You got my hopes up. I thought we were taking a well-earned vacation.
