The house is a traditional town house, original not a modern re-fab. Stay in the real deal ;) thick walls! It's small but perfect for a get away at rock bottom prices!!! Great for couples, small families, a small group of hiking buddies, cyclists or those looking for an experience of authentic rural Spanish life in an unspoilt traditional village. I'm happy to give local advice and supply extra details!

Creative soul, own vintage store in East London. Love travelling and collecting weird stuff, making / fixing things

Sandwiched between the Alcornocales natural park and Sierra de Grazalema natural park in the far western reaches of Malaga province is the pueblo blanco (white town) of Cortes de la Frontera. It is in a superb vantage point overlooking the sweeping Guadiaro valley below, with a spectacular backdrop of the Serranía de Ronda mountains. Dominating the landscape around the town are extensive woods of cork trees (alcornocales) that stretch from the Guadiaro river westwards, to where the municipal boundary meets Cadiz province, and beyond. Cork has contributed greatly to the local economy since the late 17th century. Cortes used to be one of the richest pueblos blancos because of cork production and evidence of this wealth can still be seen today in the grand 18th-century mansions lining the main street. Covering over 170km², Cortes is one of the largest municipalities in Malaga province. The town of Cortes has a population of around 4,500 and is located at 623m.
