Your accommodation is in a brand new but traditional Andalusian cortijo (farmhouse) named El Cazador (The Hunter), set high upon a promontory within the 11 acres of Finca Los Tigres, a stone’s throw away from Hípica Aguamarga’s stables. It is a stunning, spacious and luxurious villa, with an enticing mix of the modern and the traditional. It has a pool of 13m x 3.5m and terraces on 3 sides of the house. El Cazador (The Hunter), a 3-bedroom, 2- bathroom whitewashed cortijo, can comfortably accommodate 6 people in its 144 sq.m. It is an enticing mix of the traditional and the modern, with terracotta tiles on the floors, slate terraces and underfloor solar/gas heating. Every effort has been made to render the house ecologically friendly, using double glazing and double walls with insulation to keep out the heat in summer and lock it in during the winter. We even placed the windows in accordance with the angle of the sun rays to allow more light in winter and less in summer.

Outside
The swimming pool is 13m x 3.5m. It is solar heated and entirely private. The barbecue is situated on a lower terrace, overlooking the pool: you can cook steaks while keeping an eye on your children in the pool! There are 6 high quality loungers and 12 garden chairs for use on the various terraces. as well as a double hammock. Throughout the terraces you will find parasols for the necessary shade.
Coast/Beach
The Finca is 5 mins drive from Aguamarga Beach. Sailing opportunities abound for visitors of all experience, whether just for fun or if you are looking for something more ‘intense’. It is possible to hire motor boats, catamarans and Hobie Cats in Agua Amarga. Further away by horse, boat or or 4x4 are Plomo, Enmedio and Playa del Muertos beaches, the latter requires a hike of 20 mins.
Golf
Turre golf course at 20 mins drive. La Manga in Murcia at 2 hours drive.
Skiing
The Finca is not close to a ski resort but we find the 2 hour drive to the Sierra Nevada Olympic Ski Area near Granada not very exacting, using the brand new freeway via Guadix. You can go up one day, then come back the next and thus ski and swim in the Med on the same day!
Special interest holidays
Finca Los Tigres is affiliated with our neighbour's stables called Hipica Aguamarga. You can find us under the name www.riding-andalucia.com. We provide riding for the entire family. Our horses will take you to the beach or the nearby villages. Or maybe you would like a lesson in the Picadero. Your children would love our small but sturdy and very friendly ponies, and if you like to muck in, Martha would be most grateful for your help!
