Finca Fantastica: The name says it all ... This secluded hideaway in the countryside of Southern Spain sleeps up to  6 (though very popular with couples!), has a private pool and all the peace and quiet you could wish for.  Retreat to this rambling country villa to relax - the crazy world will seem a million miles away, but is 25 minutes by car to the nearest village of Estaction de Cartama with supermarkets, banks etc and less than an hour's drive is the Costa del Sol with all its attractions, the Spanish Lake District of El Chorro and Malaga international airport. 

 

Activities in the Area

Mountain Biking

Surrounded by excellent tracks going in all directions: from the highest view points down to the dry (well, most of the time!) riverbeds snaking along the valleys, the mountain biking here is simply unsurpassed. With your only limits being the rare, fenced property - and perhaps your own stamina - you can safely explore the maze of tracks leading in all directions. You may meet a car on the tracks sometime during the day - but you could go the whole holiday without seeing another vehicle.  Please inform us in advance whether you wish to hire bikes here or will be bringing your own.  Many airlines carry "bikes in bags" at small surcharges - just make sure they'll fit in your hire car! 

 

Climbing

Not far from Finca Fantastica is the climbing Mecca of El Chorro.  About 20-30 minutes to Álora and then another 20 minutes takes you to this splendid Natural Park.  Particularly popular in the cooler months, the climbing fraternity has adopted El Chorro as the place to climb - from beginners to experienced climbers, there is something for all.  Hardly any shops in El Chorro ... but there is a climbing one! Sells maps and climbing gear. A little closer is the still mostly undiscovered area of Abdalajis which offers great climbing as well.  And if that isn't enough, about an hour away is El Torcal with its famous rock formations ....
