From your peaceful base among olive and almond trees, you are perfectly placed to explore the best of Andalucía. Here are some of our favorite day trips — all easy to reach by car from the villa.
Córdoba — The soul of Al-Andalus (1h15)
Step back in time in the magical city of Córdoba, where Moorish, Jewish, and Christian influences blend seamlessly.
Wander through the narrow whitewashed streets of the Judería, admire the breathtaking Mezquita-Catedral, and enjoy tapas by the river Guadalquivir.
Granada — The Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada (1h20)
Granada is pure magic — from the stunning Alhambra Palace to the lively Albaicín district with its views of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. Reserve your Alhambra tickets well in advance, and do not miss a sunset drink with a view at Mirador de San Nicolás.
Sevilla — Elegant and vibrant (2h)
The capital of Andalusia is a feast for the senses: visit the Royal Alcázar, climb the Giralda, and stroll through Plaza de España. Enjoy flamenco in the evening and savor the city’s joyful atmosphere before heading back to your tranquil retreat.
Málaga — Culture and coast (35 min)
Closer to home, Málaga surprises with its blend of art, history, and sea. Explore the Picasso Museum, Carmen Thyssen Museum, or the Roman Theatre; then relax with fresh seafood at El Palo beach. Stroll the Muelle Uno promenade for shopping and sea views.
Perched above a deep gorge, Ronda is one of Spain’s most spectacular towns. Walk across the iconic Puente Nuevo, explore the old Moorish quarter, and take in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Europe’s largest natural flamingo colony gathers here each spring and summer. Walk along the observation points or visit the nature center to learn about this unique salt lake ecosystem.
