The Area
We are very fortunate
Cortes de la Frontera is still very much
'real Spain'
A very friendly traditional
'Pueblo Blanco' with it's own bullring
& back drop of the
'Sierra de Grazelema'
as well as bordering the wonderful
cork forest of the
'Alcornocales Parque Natural'
The very pretty station of
Estacion de Cortes
with it's single track railway
giving the opportunity
to leave the car behind to visit neighbouring pueblos, go for a wander enjoy lunch & return 'home'!

Ronda
A visit to the coast is about an hour away to Gibraltar, Estepona or San Pedro.
1 1/2 hours takes you to the marina of Puerto Banus or to Marbella where you can meander the pretty streets of the old town & soak up the atmosphere of the pavement cafes in Orange Square or stroll along the promenade.
Tarifa on the Costa del Luz is the windsurfers paradise with long beaches & the surf from the atlantic into the mediteranean.
Jerez is the home of flamenco & in the Spring time has a very large horse fair
