Children

Children of all ages will adore splashing around in the pool, chasing cats in hidden corners of the finca or rambling after butterflies further afield in the surrounding olive groves.

The Pool
The pool has shallow (90cm) and deep (2m) ends and roman steps at the shallow end for paddling. The pool is located at the western end of The Finca grounds, 50 metres from the houses ensuring that parents can exercise control over children's access to the pool.

Bikes
There are mountain bikes to fit most sizes and toddlers tricylces. The Finca and valley provide a safe environment for children to explore.

Games Room
Children can have hours of fun playing table tennis, table football and pool.

Interactive Sculptures & Exploring
Children can enjoy the interactive wooden sculptures. Set on a hillside the Finca is dotted with climbable trees and natural rocky outcrops which the adventurous will enjoy exploring.

Goat Farm and Animals
Take a stroll down the lane and visit the Goat Farm. The owners are very friendly and always enjoy a visit. Buy their home-made goat´s cheese. Walk a little further and you will see sheep and the lane's resident peacock.

Goats in the Valley
Previous guests have listened out for the sound of bells and taken their cue to head down into the valley to follow the goats as they are led on their daily stroll past The Finca.

Horseriding
Fun for all the family, the local stables, Cortijo Las Minas, are a 15 minute drive from The Finca. Within easy reach and at very affordable prices it does not need to be a once only treat. Contact Dorcas on tel: 0034 952 756037, www.ecuestrelasminas.com.

There is a popular tennis centre 25 minutes from The Finca.

Facilities
High chair, baby bath, travel cot, hand held blender and nappy bin are all available. Furniture for toddlers, toys and books will be provided on request.

Safety
The Finca is safe for children - it was designed with children in mind when the owners´ children were still very small! Stairgates are provided. The pool is located away from the two houses at the end of The Finca and is fenced and gated. Life rings are located by the pool.

Satellite TV, DVD/video players provided:

"So far all I've got out of the kids is the holiday was 'totally wicked!' High praise indeed!"

Karen K. 2006

"For the grandchildren El Almendrillo is a paradise, it has quite the best pool we have ever rented... In the evening we gathered under a large holm oak tree, with brown naked children in its branches and sang all our childhood songs in the nightjars."
