Location type

The airports of Granada and Malaga are both a very easy 40 mins drive. Granada is new to the tourist traffic and consequently a lovely small airport. It is worth checking flights as they are often cheaper. It is recommended that you hire a car.*Note-Airport transfers may be arranged.Please realise that unless you are keen walkers or cyclists,you would be quite stranded once you were here. The source of the Guadalhorce river which flows into Malaga is situated in the mountain that appears to rise out of our garden. The water can be seen spurting out of the mountain, through the 100 pipes that have been placed there to make quite a spectacular sight. The delicious water at the farm comes straight from this mountain source.
There is a popular 18 hole golf course at Antequerra, 25 mins and many others on the coast within 1 hour.The Sierra Nevada ski resort is 1 hour 15 mins from the cottage. The season is usually long from beginning of December to end of April. It is great for all levels and has 80km of skiable piste. It is quite possible to ski in the morning and spend the afternoon on the beach. We use the resort ourselves and are happy to arrange guided ski excursions if required
