As you would probably expect, the location of this gorgeous home is indeed a rural one, making it an ideal choice for those looking to really escape it all and throw themselves headlong into the serene splendour of the Spanish countryside. However, situated just outside Los Angeles (no, not that LA) and close to the historic town of Jimena de la Frontera in the Cadiz region, the villa is not too far away from the handy amenities, invitingly authentic eateries, and lively local watering holes that give you a glimpse into the traditional way of life here.
You'll also find a number of sites of historical and cultural interest within the surrounding area, including the church of Ermita de la Virgen del Rosario del Campo, the hilltop fortress of Castillo de Jimena de la Frontera, and the historical landmark of Nacimiento del Rio Guadarranque. Explore sleepy hillside villages, sampling the freshest regional produce en route, or set off in search of the best viewpoints in the area courtesy of some elevated miradors offering spectacular vistas. Your days here can be as action-packed or chilled-out as you like.
You will also find yourself nestled between two carefully protected nature reserves, namely the Parque Natural Los Alcornocales and the Paraje Natural Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja that sits between the home and the golden stretches of sand along the coastline. As such, the area is teeming with popular recreational areas and beautiful hiking and biking trails, which really allow you to make the most of your stunning surroundings while also keeping active and working on any of those expected holiday excesses. Your hosts at Finca La Gloria are more than happy to organise any guided treks or horseback riding tours, so get in touch today to start organising!
If you're all hiked out and find yourself in search of some sun, sea, sand, and perhaps some sangria; then the beaches, bars, and full-blown summertime bonanza of the Costa del Sol are reachable by car in around 40 minutes. There are also golf courses and even a polo club within reach of the home, while the route down to the coast and stretching parallel to the sea provides plenty of opportunity for some well-deserved self-indulgence in the form of retail therapy (just be sure to leave enough room in your suitcase).
With both unrivalled tranquillity and the possibility for sun-soaked fun at the coast on offer here, this place offers the best of both sides to ever-seductive Spain.
