Andalucia Travel



Fountain, terrace and orange trees with Crestellina behind - Audalucia Travel

Located in the Sierra Crestellina Natural Park, mid way between the hilltop "pueblo blancas" of Gaucin and Casares, this finca commands stunning views across the beautiful Rio Genal valley to the mountains of the Sierra Grazalema National Park, Los Alcornocales National Park, and the Sierra Ronda.

With the Sierra Crestellina mountain as its backdrop, Finca Las Aguilas is set in six acres (2.5 hectares) of landscaped and wild gardens and is a birdwatchers' paradise. There are many excellent walking trails close to the villa - and the sky at night is stunning.

Although private and peaceful, the villa is ideally situated to provide easy access to Blue Flag beaches, excellent restaurants, shops and superb golf courses (Valderrama, Sotogrande, etc) along the coast. There is a small goats cheese factory (queseria), a bakery (panaderia), and a bar/restaurant (venta) within 5 minutes drive. Supermarkets, retail parks, banks etc and all the essentials of the Costa del Sol are within easy driving distance.

The wonderful cities of Seville, Cordoba, Jerez, Tarifa, Grenada and Malaga are all less than 3 hours away - and Morrocco is a 30-min ferry crossing from Tarifa.
