The Inland Andalucia / Cordoba Province region
This area of inland Andalucia is ideal for exploring all the major cultural destinations. Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Ronda, Antequera, Malaga and the Costa del Sol are all close enough for day trips. A new motorway means that Cordoba is now just an hour and a half away, Seville is just under 2 hours away, Ronda about 2 hours away, and the other destinations within an hour. The ski slopes at the Sierra Nevadas are just an hour and a half away.
Antequera is the closest city (half an hour) and has many attractions to visit. It also has hypermarkets, large supermarkets and a large cinema complex. El Torcal, a natural park with limestone formations just less than 30 minutes from Antequera, is an ideal place for walking.
The historic town of Iznajar is just 10 minutes away with its medieval church and Moorish castle perched high above the beautiful lake of Andalucia. Iznajar has a good selection of bars, restaurants and small supermarkets. There are also two bar/restaurants on the beach giving wonderful views of the lake, particulalry lovely at sunset on a summer's evening.
Rute is 20 minutes away and is the home of Anis production, the aniseed liquor. There's a museum dedictated to its manufacture. Rute has a large supermarket with plenty of parking.
The baroque town of Priego de Cordoba set in the Subbetica Natural Park is just an hour away and has many places to explore, including the castle, 16 or so churches and lots of good restaurants and bars.
The Via Verde is a converted train track, originally used to collect olives by train throughout the region until the Sixties, which is now used ostensibly as a cycle route. In total, the Via Verde, is 56 km long and is great for walking as well as cycling. From this route the towns of Cabra, Zuheros, Lucena and Luque in the Subbetica can easily be explored. It crosses several magnificent viaducts, old iron bridges and passes through a tunnel. It's great way of exploring the Subbetica and enjoying the countryside.
The area is great for walking and you just need to pull on your boots and head off. Most farmland is accessible and provides all types of walking from gentle to challenging. A local walking clubs meets once a month for a guided walk. The right hand peak, La Tinosa, in the view from the apartment is a steep ascent but well worth the worth the effort.
Horse-riding stables are jst 15 minutes away and it's possible to go for an hour, a half day or a full day's riding. All ages and abilities can be catered for.
Iznajar / Fuente del Conde area
The local village of Fuente del Conde is just 1km from the apartments. It's got a lively bar restaurant popular with local and visitors. The village also has a small well-stocked supermarket. The village fiesta takes place every year on 1st, 2nd and 3rd May. There are plenty of activities including a clay pigeon shooting competition, horse-riding, free paella and lots of dancing til dawn. This is a must if you're in the area at the time.
How to get there
Close to Malaga (50 minutes) and Granada (40 minutes) airports so there's a great choice of cheap airlines flying to either destination. Both airports are an easy drive and full directions will be provided with your booking.
There are lots of car hire companies based at either airport but if you don't fancy driving from the airport to the apartments you can arrange to have your hire car left at the apartments and an airport collection can be arranged. Please ask for details.
