Cortijo El Ciruelo is a traditional style Andalucian farm house dating back over 200 years when it was one of the main estates in the area harvesting almonds and tending goat herds.

The house is 1,000m above sea level and is surrounded by mature pine forests. It sits at the base of El Mojonar on the edge of the Sierra de Maria National Park. The terrain of the National Park covers some 55,600 acres of outstandingly beautiful landscape with rugged mountains, pine forests and holm oak plantations.

The cortijo is 3km off the A92N between Velez Rubio 14km away and Chirivel 10km with the final 1.5km being a track through almond groves. Velez Blanco and Maria are 20km and 29km away respectively. The region embracing these towns is known at Los Velez

All in all Cortijo El Ciruelo offers characterful accommodation which has all the comforts you could wish for but in a relaxed and informal setting.
