The cortijo dates back to the 16th century and the interiors are beautifully designed, mixing authentic wooden beams and tiled floors with clean lines and contemporary touches. Outside you can swim in the pool, read a book in the garden, siesta in a shady corner or socialise by the BBQ.

There are lots of hiking and cycling trails in the local area, and landmarks like the Fuente de Piedra Lagoon and the Torcal Mountains are well worth a visit.
