Alozaina

The municipal district of the village of Alozaina, some five kilometres in area, sits between the distinct geographic regions of the Guadalhorce Valley and the Serrania de Ronda. This gives the area a varied landscape of fertile agriculture and mountain upland, topped by the limestone outcrops of the Sierra Prieta and La Ventanilla.

Music Courses

Andalucía is world-renowned for the flamenco music - flamenco guitar in particular - it exports to the rest of the world. And an extended holiday here could be the perfect opportunity for you to learn the basics - or, if you already play guitar, to expand your horizons.

Horno Árabe

A bread-baking oven is traditionally known as a ‘tahona’ in Spanish. The tahona in Chirivel is one of the oldest buildings in the town, with its construction predating that of the church. These ovens were always communal, and locals would bring their bread dough to be baked at a price.

Berenjenas con Miel

Sprinkle the aubergine slices lightly on both sides with salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and add the oil and the water.

Pour 1cm of olive oil into a large deep frying pan and heat it to 180°C.

Maya Marbella

Maya lounge by day and Maya disco bar by evening Marbella port, located in the Puerto Deportivo (Marina). More up market than others in the port. Th e Marbella Marina in general has seen better days and could do with a facelift.

Balneario de Marmolejo

The Marmolejo public spa building dates from the first half of the twentieth century, and is housed in an eclectically styled set of buildings on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Among its beautiful gardens, a building from the end of the nineteenth century particularly stands out, known as Casa del Médico.

Jimena de la Frontera - Laja Alta Cave

Located outside of the village of Jimena de la Frontera, within the Alcornocales Natural Park, is a collection of prehistoric cave paintings which are very early examples of art in southern Spain. These are referred to by locals as La Cueva de la Laja Alta (High Stone Slab Cave).

FYI: Suitable sturdy walking boots and walking apparel are recommended for the route up to the cave. If attempting the walk in winter (e.g. October – April), wellington boots are advised, particularly when walking the route on or after rainy days.

Chipiona Beaches

Chipiona boasts some beautiful beaches, frequented by many people living in and around Seville. However, due government funding, the area is gradually opening up to international tourism. Monitjo beach is located just west of the Punta de Montijo. The sandy beach is quite pebbly in areas, with lots of seashells around for those into beach combing.

Cafés and bakeries in Seville

Museo Historico Municipal de Cádiz

Museo Historico Municipal de Cádiz boasts a 19th century mural depicting the establishment of the Constitution of 1812. The real showpiece is a fascinating mahogany and ivory model of the city which dates back to 1779 and which is a fascinating duplicate of all the streets and the buildings much as they are today.

The Osborne Bull

All it takes is a drive across Spain to see the legendary brandy advertisement that has become a symbol of Spanish culture both here at home and abroad. The Osborne Bull is the black silhouette of bull that stands on hilltops and along the roadside in many – but not all – parts of Spain.
