The little country road which winds northwards through the hills from Grazalema to Lake Zahara and then on to connect with the main A376 Ronda road is one of the prettiest in Andalucía. The scenery all around is both beautiful and dramatic as the road descends through the lush valley of the River Guadaleto.

Here, seven kilometres out from the village, this rustic little cottage is situated just a few steps along the little farm lane that runs down from from the roadside. So, it couldn't be easier to get to and the road is not a problem, there's very little traffic on it and what there is will be traveling very slowly around the sharp bends.

And what a delightfully sweet cottage it is, as pretty as a picture! Immediately you arrive here you feel you are properly part of life deep in the Andalusian countryside.

Inside, the cottage is simply decorated but charming nonetheless, with its original cane and beam ceilings and tiled floors lending that all important rustic touch. One enters to a roomy living / dining room with a small kitchen corner. Beyond a passageway leads through to two neatly decorated double bedrooms (one can be converted into a twin, if preferred) and to the bathroom.

Just outside the front door, a table and chairs and bench seating around the little patio is a perfect place to take your breakfast in the early morning sunshine or perhaps a cold beer at the end of the day. And just below the house, on the other side of the track, there is a much larger terrace area where you can enjoy a barbecue, sitting around the stone table there, under the welcome shade of the leafy trees.

From here, steps go down to the little swimming pool (7 m x 3.5 m) with its lawned surround and wonderful views down and across the valley.

There's a multitude of things to do in the area, it's great walking and riding country, pretty lanes wind (sometimes spectacularly) through the pine covered mountains to the attractive "pueblos blancos" of Cádiz.

Grazalema is a wonderful - and very pretty - village in a truly sensational setting, both under and surrounded by the craggy limestone peaks of the Sierra de Grazalema. A National Park, it's a part of Andalucia unlike any other and its rocky, rugged terrain is both spectacular and beautiful. Other great cities of Andalucía such as Ronda, Jerez and Cádiz, even Sevilla, are not so far away.

Mind you, once you have discovered the timeless beauty of this lovely part of rural Spain, it will take some persuading to get you back on the road! Right here you can stroll down to the river, deep in its shady, rocky bed. And just to make your visit complete, the friendly local owners, who care passionately about their rural heritage, have created an ecological garden where you are welcome to help yourselves to the fruit and vegetables.
