Oberon, the King of the Fairies and La Cazalla de Ronda
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.
Nature and Wildlife at Luxury Villa La Cazalla de Ronda
Something that crops up frequently in reviews from our guests is the beautiful location of La Cazalla and the wildlife that can be seen in and around the grounds. With this in mind, this year we asked our resident artist to create a map of the estate, to both help our visitors explore the property to its fullest extent and to demonstrate the flora and fauna they may encounter there.
An update on our unicorn at La Cazalla
Last year we wrote that we had started to feed the lonely white horse living in the oak forest opposite the house and, of course, like any animal in need of rescuing, feeding him brought him to the house. The one thing that we really wanted to do for Oberon was find a companion for him. He’s lived on his own for SO long and his loneliness made us feel sad. However, we are pleased to report that this weekend, we got him some friends. Just look at how happy he is, with his little victory run!

Our own personal unicorn
Since we came to live at La Cazalla, from time-to-time we have seen a wild white horse roaming in the ancient oak forest on the other side of the gorge. To us, this solo snowy stallion came to have a magical quality, and we started calling him ‘our unicorn’.
Homes for our birds
Our clever friend, Alejandro, has made these very cute bird boxes/houses to distribute amongst the trees at La Cazalla. We are looking forward to seeing if our feathered friends like their new homes!
