Staying home

Staying on the property is easy and relaxing. Sunbathe, swim in the pool, walk in the gardens, read or prepare a barbecue are all tempting options. In the evening you may want to watch a DVD, listen to music, visit the local bars (there are only two of them within walking distance) or just relax with a good Rioja and listen to nature's sounds. We will do our best to make your stay as pleasant as possible and can lend you both books and DVDs. Just ask!

We are preparing "choto", which is an Andalus speciality using goat meat.

Local walks

The surrounding country side is ideal for walks. There is normally nobody else in sight. The roads are often just trails, no telephone wires, nothing except the occasional vapour trail of a passing jet to tell us we are still in the modern age. Around us we can see derelict almond and olive groves, and old ruins of vanished farmsteads. Some of the ruins were built into caves in the steep volcanic cliffs, protected by rocks on most sides, but no one live there today. Sometimes we meet a local farmer with his flock of goats or a hunting party looking for partridges or even boars. This is Andalusia as it has been for centuries.

Riding with Fidel

We are surrounded by ideal riding country and our friend and neighbour, Fidel, has the right horses for some good gallops in proper cowboy style. Look here >

Mountain-biking/running

If you do not like horse-riding, try our bikes or train for your next marathon. You never know who you may meet:
