Hillwalking
For the hill walker this area offers some very challenging walks and mountain climbs. The valleys and river beds offer less strenuous walking, as do the many cork and pine forests which cover the area. Many books have been published on walking in this area and some of them are in the house for you to read. |

Photography and Painting
There are so many photographic opportunities in this area it is almost impossible to list them all, the hanging white villages perched on the mountain slopes are certainly worth looking at. The old Spanish men going about their daily business make excellent character pictures and the sunsets from the mountain tops are worth waiting for. |
The Surrounding Area
For those of you wishing to explore this part of Andalucia you will find Cortes a great place to base your holiday. For the more restless among you, the hustle bustle of the Costa del Sol is only 45 minutes drive away. The vibrant city of Seville is just 1.5 hour's drive. Or go to Hemingway's favourite Spanish town, Ronda - 30 minutes away - and visit Spain's oldest bullring. On the way you pass "Las Cuevas de la Pileta" - Neolithic caves open to the public and famous for containing some of the finest pre-historic cave paintings in Europe. The train from Algeciras to Granada, listed as one of the "Great little railways of Europe" stops at Estacion de Cortes, and will take you to Ronda if you fancy leaving the car behind. Granada with its world famous Moorish palace, "La Alhambra", is 3 hours away by rail or road. The unspoilt beaches of the Costa de la Luz are also within easy driving distance.
