ACTIVITIES AT FINCA AL-MANZIL
ALL THE HOUSES HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE WONDERFUL SIERRA
Walking - There is a delightful walk directly to the village of Montanchez on the old moorish path which takes about 40 minutes. The walk to Arroyomolinos and the water mills takes about 1 hour. There are also several beautiful walks on ancient paved paths on the higher parts of the sierra, walking through the typical landscape of olive grove, chestnut woods and cherry orchards.
We have made paths for easy walking, particularly to the highest parts of the fincas where there is an olive grove and many traditional stone shelters, chozos, also plenty of springs and ponds, perfect pic-nic spots. The hike to the top is rewarded by wonderful views.
