The beauty and intricacy of the Alhambra Palace, glowing warmly in front of its backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains; the winding cobbled streets and colourful bazaars of Albaicín; the humbling magnificence of the Cathedral; and the dazzling glory of the Basilica of St John of God. These delights and more are why you simply must visit Granada. Wake up with the valley’s birdsong and take the easy two-hour drive from La Cazalla and spend your day soaking in the multicultural ambience of the city.
What does the word ‘luxury’ mean in 2018? Do we overuse this word, in the same way that the word ‘awesome’ is utilised so frequently that now everything is awesome? As we market La Cazalla de Ronda as a ‘luxury villa rental’, we thought we’d take a look at what makes an item or experience ‘luxurious’.
Something prospective guests frequently ask before confirming their booking is if there is anything to do in Ronda. The answer is always a resounding “Yes!” and we direct them to this blog where they can discover articles with recommendations of things to do in Ronda, details of adventure sports and activities, hiking, bird watching… we could go on and on. However, what is particularly tantalising is how many parties, celebrations and festivals there are going in Andalusia (around 3,000 a year!). Let’s have a look at at one that’s coming up soon: the Ronda International Guitar Festival.
If you’re searching for sunshine this summer, look no further than Ronda in southern Spain. With an average of 11 hours of sunshine a day during June, 12 hours a day during July, and a predicted rainfall of only 9 mm over both of those months, plenty of sunshine is pretty much guaranteed.
As it’s Valentine’s Day, we thought we’d write about our old rescue horse, Oberon, and his contentment with the new ladies in his life! If you’ve been reading our blog you’ll know that we’ve had a rescued white male horse on the property for over a year now. He had been abandoned in the forest across the gorge from us and we were worried about him all alone over there, so we found out his history and brought him across the stream to La Cazalla.
As it’s the time of year for our feathered friends to build their nests around the property again, and the proliferation of species at La Cazalla is bountiful, we feel the estate is the perfect base for birding. Its secluded valley location, with a stream running through it surrounded by forests and cliffs, provides an optimum habit for a variety of birds and animals.
