    Description

    Our farm is located in the municipality of Mula, within the heart of the Natura 2000 Network. We created a small ecological production of almonds and olives seeking a regenerative crop, as well as a green island project for the local fauna and flora. In this little paradise we give home to a small group of rescued animals, among which we have dogs, cats, goats, donkeys, ponies, chickens, geese, peacocks and many more. The farmhouse is in the process of being renovated, it is a 400 square meter building with different rooms where we have sought to maintain the essence of the place. It is located ten minutes by car from the municipality of Mula, one hour from the nearest airport, and forty-five minutes from the provincial capital, Murcia. It is an ideal area for nature lovers, hikers, climbers and cyclists. We talk 🇪🇦🇬🇧🇩🇪


    Nuestro cortijo se encuentra en el término municipal de Mula, dentro del corazón de la Red Natura 2000. Creamos una pequeña producción ecológica de almendra y oliva buscando un cultivo regenerativo, además de un proyecto de isla verde para la fauna y flora local.

    En este pequeño paraíso damos hogar a un pequeño grupo de animales rescatados, entre los que tenemos perros, gatos, cabras, burro, pony, gallinas, ocas, pavos reales y muchos más.

    El cortijo está en proceso de reforma, es una edificación de 400 metros cuadrados con diferentes estancias donde hemos buscado mantener la esencia del lugar.

    Se encuentra a diez minutos en coche del término municipal de Mula, una hora del aeropuerto más cercano, y cuarenta y cinco minutos de la capital de la provincia, Murcia.

    Es una zona ideal para amantes de la naturaleza, senderistas, escaladores y ciclistas.

    What else ...

    The Murcia region is a place to discover. With Sierra Espuña nearby and the Segura River passing, without a doubt the best that Murcia can offer are its pine forests, mountains and deserts. Ten minutes walk from the farmhouse we entered the forest. Five minutes by car or fifteen minutes by bicycle we have the area of natural pools of Fuente Caputa. And the almond flowering season is quite a spectacle, the entire field melts into pink and white. And if you are a fan of birds, on the grounds you can see imperial eagles, stone curlews, kestrels breeding on the farm, black storks...


    La región de Murcia es un lugar para descubrir. Con Sierra Espuña cerca y el paso del río Segura, sin lugar a dudas lo mejor que puede ofrecer Murcia son sus pinares, montañas y desiertos. A diez minutos andando del cortijo ya entramos en bosque. A cinco minutos en coche o quince en bicicleta tenemos la zona de pozas naturales de Fuente Caputa.

    Y la temporada de floración del almendro es todo un espectáculo, todo el campo se funde en rosa y blanco.

    Y si eres fanático de las aves en los terrenos pueden observarse águilas imperiales, alcaravanes, cernícalos criando en el cortijo, cigüeñas negras...
