El Horcajo

Ronda - Malaga - Andalusia - Málaga

Rural

Number of rooms: 26

The main country house of this Andalusian farm is over 170 years old and has been converted into a fully equipped quality rural accommodation, without any loss to its essential character. It offers a relaxed setting in breathtaking natural surroundings on the edge of Alcornocales natural park – all with a comfortable and intimate family atmosphere. Constructed nearby are family units, which have been built in traditional style to blend in with the older buildings. The 14 rooms are all decorated in the traditional rustic style by way of use of natural and locally crafted materials - it is worth noting that one of the rooms has been especially adapted for handicapped people. Furthermore, the ground floor rooms have an entrance hall and a private terrace, which looks, over the estate.

A Special Protection Zone for Birds, the Park covers 51,695 hectares and is among the areas of greatest ecological importance in the south of the peninsula, and therefore of great significance in Spain as a whole.Its main activities are centred on woodcutting and cattle farming (in some cases using wild stock). Industrial activities include the manufacture of woolen shawls and leather products; other sources of income are tourism, hunting and recreational fishing.

Santa Maria de la Encarnación church - 15th to 18th centuries
