Guest comments
We are back from a wonderful time in your house.
Especially this season is Andalusie at its best, we think. All those wild flowers! And Seville full of trees with purple blossom, very special. The weather was also fine.
We have enjoyed it very much. Daniel even had a few swims in the swimming pool. Klaarje Hoebroechts May 2008

Tracy,
We are back home now, in a very rainy yorkshire and am still in shock at coming back!
Thank you for the lovely house and a grand time over the last week. Graham Wileman April 2008

It was just fascinating to take a small part in your olive harvest in January. We really had fun trying to join in, but wielding those long sticks is not as easy as it looks. Many thanks for the bonus of a trip to the Olive Mill in El Burgo, what a bunch of local characters. Quebrilla's oil is delicious and we like to tell people we pressed it ourselves! We'll be back - perhaps the August feria. Richard & Janna, Sheffield Jan 2008
