CADIZ PROVINCE (near Arcos de la Fronter) – Cortijo Barranco: It doesn’t get much
better than Cortijo Barranco for an authentic
taste of life in southwestern Spain. This rustic
hotel is located in the midst of a farm,
surrounded by organic olive orchards, wheat
fields, and an abundance of nature at its finest.
A small collection of houses encompasses the
estate, offering modern comforts and amenities
while remaining true to the quiet, easygoing
lifestyle of the Cadiz province. You’ll certainly
have the feel of staying at somebody’s home.
It’s rustic and doesn’t get more authentic than
this, but, yes, the property does have air
conditioning. We love Cortijo Barranco as a cozy escape from the beaten path.
