With lovely views over the green fertile valley to the Mediterranean, this is the perfect stopover base from which to explore the Granada region. Situated in a quiet, semi-rural area our Cortijo is just ten minutes away by car from the coastal beaches which are as yet unspoiled by tourism and just five minutes by car from the shops, bars and restaurants of Motril. This is now the only area in Spain where a traditional tapa (bite of food) is given away free with a glass of beer or similar drink.
We are ideally located one and a half hours from Malaga Airport, an hour due north from Granada Airport and an hour and thee quarters from Almeria Airport.
Having spent the day sightseeing or searching for that elusive charming Andalucian holiday cottage or even the perfect retirement home, where better to relax than by the side of our pool in our luscious sub tropical perfumed garden. Or in the cooler season, lounging in front of our cosy wood burning stove with a glass of Rioja.
The area is predominantly agricultural and unspoiled by tourism and the people, friendly. A few words of Spanish learned go a long way.
The climate is sub tropical, sheltered from the northern winds by the Sierra Nevada and close to the coast of Africa. This enables the growing of exotic fruits such as avocados, bananas, mangos and custard apples as well as the citrus fruit family and only place in Europe where Sugar Cane is grown.
The local area is mainly agricultural with the mild sub tropical winters enabling production of exotic fruits such as bananas, custard apples, avocados and all citrus fruits and sugar cane is still grown along the coast supplying the local Rum factory.
