Sierra de Aracena walking and cultural holiday

As part of our promise to sustain the environment we have used recycled materials to build our guest cottages. This means using old doors, beams and roof tiles. We have gathered the stones from ruins and old lost walls to reuse in the construccion of the houses and repairing kms of stone walls.

We have an ecological vegetable and herb garden for our guests to pick and prepare their own meals with and we support local ecologically run farms.

In the 22 years of living here we have adopted many straydogs and cats that we are giving a loving home and they have become the greatest friends of our guests. Especially the dogs are much appreciated as they are the perfect guides for our walking guests as they know the area very well.

We are careful to minimise the use of plastics and recycle them when used. After heavy rainfalls we have taken it as our responsibilty to clean the adjacent river from all the waste that has come its way, sadly this is a yearly event. We also separate glass, paper and plastic in several bins at our own establishment before we bring this personally to the closest garbage collections point 1 km further away.
