The Cortijo Las Minas is a Andalusian farmhouse which is over 150 years old and which has been renovated and converted into 4 totally independent accommodations: Casa Principal (sleeping 4), Casa el Palomar (sleeping 6), Casa las Trojes (sleeping 6) and Casa el Pajar (sleeping 8), with separate unconnected entrances.
They share the communal areas of the swimming pool with a Jacuzzi, a children’s play area with swings and other recreational equipment, five-a-side football pitch and sports area, farm animals, etc. The original farmhouse has been preserved as much as possible with its beamed ceilings, clay floors, wooden windows and doors, making the whole house quite cosy and with the maximum comfort.
The farmhouse is 3 km from Caravaca de la Cruz, set on a slope surrounded by pine trees, olive trees and apricot trees on 240,000 square metres of private land, fully fenced off for the peace and quiet of our guests. From the accommodation you can see the whole of the Caravaca farmlands and its old part with its castle-sanctuary at the top of the town.
All the accommodation of the Cortijo Las Minas has the Q Certificate for quality tourism .
Activities
On the property there is a farm with animals (Goats, rabbits, chickens and donkeys for rides)
There is an area for agricultural tourism activities (Vegetable plantation, potatoes, collecting of fruit, fruit and vegetable preservation, olives...), with a person who is in charge of this area and will explain the different sections
Less than 2 km away there are hiking areas which are included in the European routes
You can go horse riding , have riding classes in the riding club
We have contacts with Naturocio which have several organized activities such as:
Zip wiring
Abseiling
Cycling routes
On the same piece of land there is paintball (battles with balls of paint)
Interesting Places
Caravaca de la Cruz (a Sacred Town since 2003) is situated 3 km from our accommodation and is where you can visit:
The Castle Sanctuary where they worship the Santísima and Vera Cruz of Caravaca (which originates from the Holy Year)
The Festival Museum (Moors and Christians)
The Soledad Museum (archaeological)
The Vera Cruz Museum (castle and religion)
Walks around the old part with its El Salvador Parish Church
Encomienda Palace
Carmelite Convent
Claras Nuns
Casa de la Cruz...
In the outskirts of the city we find the Las Fuentes del Marques, a lovely area of hundred-year-old trees and streams
Torreón de los Templarios (Templar Tower), today an information centre for the surrounding nature
4 km. away we find the Encarnación with its Roman archaeological centre, one of the most complete in Spain
Moratalla is 5 km. away, with its mountains and the landscape of the Puerta, together with its Penitent Festivals and running of the bulls in June
Take the Western exit to Caravaca from the Noroeste motorway, at the roundabout situated at the entrance there is a tarmac road that goes towards Lorca-Barranda and after around 100 metres there is a signpost for ALOJAMIENTOS RURALES CORTIJO LAS MINAS. Go along this lane on the right, and it will lead you to the farmhouse after around 150 metres from the signpost
Estuvimos hace dos semanas en el cortijo de las minas. Cojimos las dos casas de 6 personas pues íbamos 9 adultos y 3 niños. El baño en la piscina-jacuzzi a 34º de temperatura en mitad de la naturaleza fue increible. Los niños disfrutaron mucho con los animales. La zona muy bonita y los dueños muy amables y atentos. Volveremos. Un saludo para Felipa y Arsenio.
Un año más repito, van tres y el próximo vuelvo. Mucha tranquilidad, amabilidad, instalicones perfectas y buena comunicación. Perfecto para ir con la família, los niños están en su salsa. Gracias Feli y Arsenio.
Muy Recomendable con niños ,

Es una casa estupenda, totalmente equipada,limpieza total, tranquila y próxima al pueblo de Caravaca, sobre todo y lo más importante es que nuestras mujeres han estado muy cómodas y les a encantado. Solo puedo decir en nombre del grupo de 8 personas que hemos estado.Excelente, para recomedar.
