COTTAGE ACCOMMODATION

Cortijo Aguila 'Eagle Cottage' - photo from 'Everything Spain' magazine

Our two self-catering holiday cottages - Aguila and Halcon have both been tastefully renovated in the Alpujarra style with traditional crushed slate flat roofs, original chestnut beams, shuttered windows and stable doors.

Add to this stupendous views, with the mountain of Mulhacén to the north and the Mediterranean on a clear day glistening to the south

We are helping to preserve our local environment in that we use solar energy for our lighting and hot water in the holiday cottages.

Cortijos Aguila and Halcon have 12 volt electricity for lighting only.

Nogales has mains power but as it is provided via a solar system there is limited electricity for mains appliances.
