Description
We are a Dutch couple that has lived and worked all over the world, and we are now retired in a tiny Spanish village. Our house is a renovated traditional Spanish finca, with 3 bedrooms, large living, terraces and a great pool. It is on a large property in a typical rural Andalusian village, surrounded by farmlands, and beautiful rolling hills. We are passionate about plants and have a very large collection of exotic plants from around the world. It is a very peaceful place whilst close to lovely towns and cultural experiences. The Atlantic coast with stunning beaches is 21 km away.

The beaches offer surfing and kite surfing. There are beautiful walks in natural parks nearby, and also horse riding trails. The local towns have many cultural events including flamenco. Our house is in a rural area, so your own transport like a car or motorbike is essential. We are very easygoing, we love gardening and reading, and enjoy a simple rural life and nature.
