About the Area
Peaceful but not completely isolated, the apartment is situated above our finca (farmhouse) & being musicians working nearer to the coast, we enjoy the contrast, have no TV, preferring to listen to the nightingales, owls, frogs, crickets.....
The accommodation offers a double bedroom & a light, airy open plan kitchen/living area with exposed beams & log burning stove. The living area opens out onto a large, private south facing terrace with fantastic views. Here you can relax in comfort in your own little corner of paradise. Previous guests have described the location as 'a little piece of heaven'.
Our accommodation is at the end of a half kilometer track which is a little 'rustic' so please bear that in mind when hiring a car.
As well as our 2 friendly dogs, cats, parrots & chickens, the house is surrounded by nature: wild flowers, holly oaks, pine trees and a variety of low bushes. The only deciduous trees being our almonds and figs, making our views very green all year round. We also have grape vines, herbs, nisperos & carobs..
Natural wonders of the area include the striking pink and white almond blossom (Jan/Feb), cherry & orange blossom scent, abundant wild flowers and butterflies, eagles, bee-eaters, nightingales (common in spring/summer & singing during the nights of May/June) and much, much more.

Several walks can start directly from the doorstep of your accommodation, and many more are available in the countryside around. Two kilometers from the apartment, in this area called Pla de Petracos, there are ancient cave paintings. Caves at the archaeological site have a viewing platform, and the paintings are explained on six interpretive panels.
