A short walk down the traditional mule track will take you from the main house to the land where you will find a beautiful hidden meadow, shaded by a variety of mature trees, an authentic paradise. This would be the perfect place to have a veggie patch, gather fruit from the trees, and collect olives to make your own olive oil. A small alberca has already been built allowing for irrigation even in the summer months
In fourth place is Cortijo Lindo.
