In the High Alpujarras of the Sierra Nevada there exists a splendid mountain cortijo with a beautiful, newly built, three story house of traditional Alpujarranean charm. The house consists of three double bedrooms (two en suite); three bathrooms; an open plan kitchen, dinning room & lounge; and a large swimming pool. The cortijo offers its guests fruit and vegetables from its bounteous organic garden and pure spring water from its fountains. The quaint Moorish town of Capileira is just over a km away and offers excellent restaurants, tapas bars, traditional shops and other amenities. From Capileira one can explore the other hillside towns and villages or trek up to the Mulhacen the highest peak of the Iberian peninsular. Whilst most other destinations in Spain endure sweltering summer heat the High Alpujarras remain pleasantly warm. So for a quiet, relaxing, retreat in this spectacular setting, rustic but with modern conveniences - Tierra y Nieve is your obvious choice.
