Finca (Cortijo) Barranco
"Molino Nuestra Señora de Luz"
At the crossroads of history and old legends rises the white and magnificent Arcos de la Frontera, declared a National Historic Landmark and a piece of artwork in itself. Just a few kilometres from this village lays the Finca Barranco, a charming holiday complex that combines the beauty of the mountains with the rolling farm lands and olive trees groves. One of the best assets of the Finca Barranco is the country estate “Molino Nuestra Señora de la Luz”, a traditional Andalucian farm which dates back to 1754 and served as an olive oil mill
This building complex adds a number of rooms and adjacent houses to the farm, some attached to the main building. The others are scattered around the complex and were once used as lodging for the mill workers
Both the rooms and the independent houses have been restored and redecorated in a charming and traditional style.
The tranquillity and beauty of the landscape guarantee an unforgettable stay, far from the stress and distractions of the cities
The gentle climate of the Sierra in Cádiz, with average temperatures near 20ºC, is ideal for activities like hiking, outdoor photography, horseback riding, mountain biking, swimming, hunting, water sports, golf and many more. Guests can enjoy such activities and commune with nature throughout the year.
In what was once the old mill and today is a restaurant, weary travelers will be able to enjoy the most delicious dishes of traditional Mediterranean cuisine, prepared with products grown on the premises.
