Within Walking Distance

Antonio's Bar in Fuente Del Conde

If you feel like going out, walk 20 minutes back over the hill and down into the next valley to the village of Fuente del Conde for a good selection of Riojas and delicious tapas at Antonio's Bar (Bar Los Pajaritos).

The Goat Farm & Animals Along the Lane
Half way to Antonio's you walk past the goat farm. Both the owners and goats are very friendly and enjoy a visit. A walk down the lane takes you past sheep, peacocks and chickens.

Within 5 to 25 minutes

Local Restaurants

There is a good selection of local restaurants serving delicious Spanish and European cuisine. Within easy reach of the Finca there is of course Antonio's as well as an Italian restaurant, two restaurants at the 5 star Bobadilla Hotel, Tapas and a number of very good Spanish restaurants at Salinas, Iznajar and Antequera. If you're having a day on Iznajar beach there's a great beach bar to have a big lunch or watch the sun go down over the lake.

Iznajar - The Town & The Lake (25 min)
Spend a morning wandering the ancient cobbled streets of Iznajar, followed by drinks and tapas in one of the many bars or at the beach bar by the lake. Savour the romance of the floodlit Moorish palace. To experience the wild wide-open spaces of Andalucia walk around the stunning lake, or press further north into the Sierra Subbeticas Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty thronging with Iberian flora and fauna.

The Real Spain
See the real Spain, visit the nearby towns of Antequera and Archidona, each brimming with regional and artesanal architecture and plateloads of Andalucian zest

Day Trips - Short and Long

Torcal National Park

A 40 minute drive west of The Finca takes you to Torcal. Picnic amongst awe-inspiring rock formations. There are a number of recommended walks for visitors of different ages and levels of fitness.

Granada
Only 60 km from The Finca it is a quick and easy hour's drive to Granada.
"Give him alms woman! There is no greater sorrow than to be blind in Granada !"
Some poetic licence here. But this Alhambra-dweller's response to a partially sighted beggar is only a minor over-reaction.

Five things about the Alhambra and Granada:

1. If you've been, go again. You've forgotten how beautiful it is. Take someone you love.
2. Book early, especially in summer: on line www.alhambra-patronato.es or at any branch of BBVA bank (London branch +44 207 623 3060).
3. Don't forget the Generalife, the Alhambra's exotic but under-rated neighbour. Especially if you've already visited the Alhambra.
4. Granada is beautiful and would be without the Alhambra.
5. A round trip to Granada can take in the romantic Alpujarras mountains.

Spectacular year round (approx 2 hours)

Malaga
For a change, have a day on the coast - you can get to the sea at Malaga in 1 hour.

Sevilla and Cordoba
The Finca's unique location makes it ideal for day trips to the Andaluz capital Sevilla (approx 2 hours, perhaps via Ronda) and fascinating Cordoba (approx 1 ½ hours), shunned by coach tour operators despite the astonishing Mezquita.
