This delightful Spanish cortijo is situated 3 minutes by car into the ecological hillly area known as the Mina Sierra. The house is surrounded by plantations of tropical Chirimoya (custard apple) trees and has a private swimming pool (7 mtrs x 3 mtrs).

The property is gated and fenced offering total privacy. It is a small house but offers all that you could want in a rental property - and more..... with 3 terraces, the top terrace has views across the surrounding plantations of chirimoyas to Salobreña, the central terrace offers plenty of sunshine for leisurely breakfasts overlooking the flowers and shrubs surrounding the swimming pool below and the third terrace has BBQ, sunloungers and plenty of shade should you require it.

The interior of the house is well maintained and comfortable with all mod-cons.  There is free to air satellite TV (BBC1, BBC2, after 7pm BBC3 and BBC4, ITV, CBeebies, CNN, Sky News and other cartoon/travel/news channels) plus a CD music system.

The beaches of Salobrena are only 10 minutes away and others are nearer. Motril and the pretty town of Salobrena have plenty of shops, restaurants, markets and large supermarkets for all shopping needs. A car is essential.

The Sierra Nevada, Spain's highest mountain range, is a magnificent backdrop to this partly undiscovered area of Spain. The area enjoys a microclimate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer.

The beaches are unspoilt, there are golf courses in Granada (18 holes) and Los Moriscos golf course (9 holes) just 5 kms from Motril and is by the sea with a restaurant and bar. There is also the Marina at the Port of Motril. In the winter months you can ski in the Sierras in the morning and sunbathe by the swimming pool in the afternoon.

This is the old Andalucian part of Spain, complete with fiestas, whitewashed villages, Moorish castles and some of the best and least expensive food and wine to be found. The restaurants and tapas bars are very good and the fish is excellent. There is history to be found everywhere, from the Alhambra Palace in Granada (just 50 minutes by car) to the Alpujarras region. The coastal towns of Almeria, Almunecar, Salobrena and Nerja are also well worth a visit.
