El Cortijillo, Idyllic ecocottage

The Cortijillo is part of Cortijo El Rosario, an organic farm with olive, orange, fruit trees and a vegetable garden. It has gardens, a patio with beautiful mountain views and a pool. Electricity and hot water come from solar energy. El Cortijillo is in the village of Albuñuelas, 732 meters above sea level, in the Valley of Lecrin, facing the imposing peaks of Sierra Nevada. The Valley is a crossroad steeped in history halfway between Granada and the Mediterranean coast and entrance to the Alpujarra. The village is crossed by the Albuñuelas river and is surrounded by orchards, olive, orange and almond trees. It is also very close to an abrupt and untamed sierra, thick with pines and wild herbs and bushes, and crossed by gorges and cliffs that result in spectacular views. Swimming pool, patios, barbecue My guests have complete independance. Nevertheless I'm available for whatever question they might have or need Albuñuelas and the Valley of Lecrin offer in general magnificent opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, bicycling, adventure sports and paragliding. You can also visit a wine cellar nearby for wine tasting or be introduced to the world of olive oil and olive oil tasting in our cortijo. We can help you organise any of these activities as well as tickets for the Alhambra which need to be reserved ahead of time. Taking advantage of your holidays to learn or better your Spanish is another possibility. El Cortijillo is 30 minutes away from Granada and 30 minutes away from the beaches of Motril and Salobreña. Sierra Nevada is only 45 minutes away
