Cortijo Romero
Cortijo
Romero is situated in La Alpujarra, an unspoiled natural park in the foothills
of the Sierra Nevada, deep in the South of Spain. It sits at 1300 feet in a
fertile valley, within an 800-year old olive grove, surrounded by magnificent
mountain views (and not only in daytime: watching the stars over the mountains
at midnight from the roof is a magical experience!)
The local town is Orgiva, a 15-minute walk away. It has a typical weekly market,
banks and all basic shopping facilities. Further up in the mountains is a string
of wonderful villages tucked into sheltered hillside amidst glorious scenery at
heights up to 5700 feet. Nearby Granada holds one of the wonders of the
world, the finest Moorish palace and gardens in Europe - the breathtaking
Alhambra.
