The surrounding countryside, a designated nature reserve, is idyllic with lush crops olive, avocados, almonds and scattered farmhouses; surrounded by soaring peaks and deep valleys. Perfect for a retreat and walking holiday, with the sea only 20 minutes away. This area is one of the most authentic and unspoilt areas in this region, and just a few miles from 'Pena Escrita', a protected nature reserve.

I have had long talks with villagers who have lived all their lives here, helping me to understand the life that once went on here, that has almost died and is now beginning to be rejuvenated. Casa del Guitarrero is a small part towards the past and the future.
