We’re in the middle of August, which means that you cannot escape the heat in Andalucía. It doesn’t quite matter whether it’s levante wind (from the East) or whether it is poniente wind (from the West). The high temperatures funnels our brains into wanting one thing only: Holiday! And what better way to spend a holiday in a beautifully renovated Cortijo in Casarabonela, Málaga?
A hidden treasure
Tucked away in the mountainous landscape of Málaga, you find a little slice of heaven called Casarabonela. From the moment you arrive, you are taken away by the inevitable charm of the traditional white Andalusian mountain village. Not to say that they are all the same, on the contrary! Each town has its own enchanting traditions, festivities and even cuisine. But let me tell you, Casarabonela has something.
The people gather on the squares or by the front doors chatting the day away. Mornings are filled with the sound of clicking cutlery, coffee machines and the toaster. All generations come together to enjoy breakfast, somewhere between the times of 08:00 and 12:00. The streets slowly fill with delicious fragrances from all the home cooking that takes place. Afternoons are usually featured by children playing in the streets or by the municipal pool, and meeting up with their friends for ice cream. And last but not least, the evenings. When the temperatures start to drop families and friends gather at the restaurants to enjoy a delicious meal or some fresh tapitas.
As soon as you start living in this renovated cortijo, I guarantee you, you will feel like a local from day 1! The people from Casarabonela are welcoming and so kind!
The Rural Luxury Gem
In one of our previous editions, we introduced you to our newest Rural Luxury Gem. In today’s edition we will let you into the world of what it would be like to be the owner of a renovated cortijo that works very well as a country Bed & Breakfast! Trust me when I say, that nothing quite compares to this rustic retreat. If you are not looking for the classic beach holiday, then hold your horses because you will experience something magical here.
Being the owner of this kind of retreat, allows you to have a personal connection with your guests. You will know every single detail of this historic cortijo and your guests will love hearing about it. What’s great here, is that you are not bound by the coast to cool down. From your very own house you can enjoy a loungy afternoon while sipping on a glass of great quality vino. In the distance you might hear the horses neigh or the distant tinkling of goat bells.
A life like this one is easy to get used to. So, be careful what you wish for! You might just fall in love after the first viewing and never want to leave!
