Stay in a comfortably rustic cottage along a farm track; sitting on a hillside surrounded by cork oaks, olive trees and tranquility in the grounds of an Andalucian Cortijo. The natural park of the Sierra de Aracena y Los Picos de Aroche abound with walks for all abilities and the cottage has a copy of Guy Hunter-Watts' book to help you on your way. The area also has caves, the mines of Rio Tinto are an easy drive away and the owner, Caroline, can organise riding. The restaurants, bars and shops of Aracena are only two kms away and Caroline's welcome includes filling the fridge with a delicious selection of local food.

I have just got back from an amazing weekend at this luxury bed and breakfast in Spain - La Casa Noble. It was recommended through a friend and I feel the need to pass on this little gem. The woman that owns it is a designer and has spent the past four years renovating - it is absolutely beautiful! Everything about this trip was wonderful - the food, (best pork I have ever tasted... apparently the pigs eat acorns which make it so tasty and I am told healthy…), great service; the host went out of her way to make our stay memorable. The village is a beautiful little Spanish town and of course the weather is great! I would strongly recommend this place to anyone. Make sure you use the jacuzzi at the the B&B and go for a walk up to the old church on the hill at sunset.

You can fly there from Gatwick (clickair) but I am sure other airlines there as well. You need to fly to Seville and then take a bus (1 hour)
