CORTIJO " LA CALERA" REST, RELAX, REJUVENATE.

Come here at any time of year - even with the snow on the highest mountain, Pico de La Maroma, the sierras always have endless natural delights: the scent of the lavender, thyme and sage that edge any track you walk along; the fascinating bird life that changes with the seasons.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Enjoy the scents and colours of the gardens or choose a leisurely swim. The perfect place to unwind with a glass of local wine, perhaps and appreciate the stunning sunsets. The beautiful location affords awesome views of the mountains, unspoilt valleys and olive groves form the whole property especially from the terraces and swimming pool area.
