Property description
Cortijo la Mata is a traditional whitewashed Andalusian farmhouse
constructed in the year 1911 which has been converted into two holiday cottages. Situated in the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada mountain range yet only fifteen minutes by car from the Alhambra
Palace and the city of Granada the house is located just outside
the old moorish village of Monachil in an area of outstanding natural
beauty surrounded by olive, almond and cherry trees.
For those who are looking for a complete escape to the Andalusian
countryside yet want to take advantage of all that the city of Granada
has to offer plus take in the ski slopes of Spain's highest mountain
range the location is perfect. |

Local activities
From mountain biking, rock climbing and handgliding to flamenco lessons, goats cheese demos and cookery courses we can organize almost anything!
Apart from the local Monachil area itself the main attraction is without doubt Granada - the city of the Alhambra, Albayzin and the gypsy caves of Sacromonte. Trips to the Alhambra should be reserved in advance particularly
in the months of summer and can be booked at www.alhambratickets.com
Sierra Nevada ski station is only 25 minutes from the house with the added advantage that there is a separate road from the village to the resort hence avoiding much of the Granada city traffic.

Further afield
Apart from the obvious atractions of the city of Granada, Monachil and the Sierra Nevada ski station there are many other activities a bit further afield.
Granada is well know in Spain for the possibility of skiing in the morning and sunbathing in the afternoon. Beach resorts such as Salobreña and Almuñecar can be reached in 45 minutes by car from the village.
Plenty of tourist information is available at the property.
