Set on the lush coastal plain midway between Malaga & Almeria, CORTIJO NUEVO benefits from a rural location. Hidden just outside PUNTALON village, 3kms east from Motril and 65kms South from Granada. Growing sub-tropical fruits and vegetables is a mainstay of the area. The ideal destination for travellers seeking a holiday away from the package deal - the area remains SPANISH.

CORTIJO NUEVO is an excellent touring base; car essential to discover the many white villages of the Alpujarras & Lecrin Valley, Granada City & Alhambra Palace and the dramatic coastline with many small resorts and unspoilt beaches.

Also good base for bargain property searches - many buyers have stayed here!
