Children’s room: If your children are on holiday, they will be able to enjoy themselves without any danger. Although... children! I recommend that you play hide and seek with me, it is great because I’ve got some fantastic hiding places...
Kitchen: If you like cooking, you will have all the facilities to do so with me, and you will be able to show off your talent… Also, you will find everything close at hand in this street with two wonderful grocer’s opposite me, where you can also buy the newspaper if you do not want to totally cut yourself off from the outside world. If you feel like it, I can arrange for you to try the most delicious local dishes: "flour garlic", "gachamiga" (made with olive oil, flour, Spanish sausage), "migas con chicharrones"(flour and crackling), and I can even convince somebody to give you the recipe... Everyone loves our food, and you must not forget the pork products, with their "ajo de morcilla" (black pudding garlic) and its "chicharritas"... If you feel like it, I know a very nice lady who can give you practical classes on how to cook these dishes...
Gardens: If you are feeling down, disappointed by the difficulties of life or stressed and exhausted, I will look after you. And if it is quite warm, you can go for a swim in the swimming pool, which I keep really clean for you. You must try my breakfast on the terrace, made of toasts with white bread and the olive oil from our lands and the homemade cakes such as the "borrachuelos", "wine or liquor rosquillo", the "plumillas" or the "pericones"… Ah! And there is a place where they make the traditional churros... they are really tasty.

My name is a plant that is found in our mountain range, which is very good for seasoning the local olives, and thanks to this it gets its special aroma, that combines with the special nature of this picturesque village. Proof of this are the many civilizations that have passed through here: Iberians, Romans, Moors…all wishing to stay forever in these red soil, enchanting lands, and leaving their mark in the surrounding area, crowned by the Sierra Morena, eternal in legends and generous with its aromas and wildlife.
I was built almost a century ago in the style of the time , and within my walls I preserve much of the history and endless shared dreams that remain floating in the atmosphere without fully ever leaving me. The worst thing is that my current owner has decided to do some restoration work and I fear that the poor ghosts have had to flee in haste …
And the fact is that what she wants to do is to offer you a place full of comfort so that you can rest and forget about all your problems, escape from a very different world with the pressures of daily routines or the hustle and bustle of the large cities.. If you decide to visit me, allow me to give you my warmest welcome.While you think about it, come in through the garden gate and I will show you around.
Activities
You can plan several hiking routes to lose some of those extra calories that you are going to eat... that delicious food..., but with a little exercise in the lovely scenery or by organizing a nice trip to the mountain range, you won’t put on any weight and you will feel great when you come back to the city, where it seems that everyone has to be thin... Uf!, how tiring!

Las fotos no hacen justicia a la casa, ya que es una casa maravillosa, sobre todo el patio. Tiene un montón de salitas que se comunican entre ellas , diferentes escaleras para subir a las demas plantas.. Te pierdes en una casa tan grande.. En el patio tiene un gran salón para poder estar todos juntos, con dos cuartos de baño y una ducha. Bueno en resumen, hemos pasado un fin de semana estupendo.
Twin room (2 beds)
