Long romanticized by the likes of Hemingway, Irving and a host of poets and songwriters, Andalucia today continues to surprise and enchant visitors. Unexpectedly fertile and mountainous in places, remarkably traditional and culturally preserved in others, the region always claims the best weather in Europe and maintains the passion, vivacity and beauty that brought it fame in the first place.
The ancient land of fiery Flamenco and birthplace of modern bullfighting; an early and initially peaceful melting pot of Moorish, Christian and Jewish cultures; home to world famous UNESCO World Heritage sites in Sevilla, at the Alhambra in Granada and the Mesquita in Cordoba; Andalucia possesses a richness and diversity seldom seen in a single region, awash with opportunity for exploration and experience.
Situated on a rural plot in the mountainous coastal region known as La Axarquia, Cortijo El Carligto sits well appointed for rich exploration: near cosmopolitan Malaga and only 25 km from the coast, and within reach of Granada, Cordoba and Seville for day trips.
