This lush and fertile valley, flanked by mountains that rise to over 1000 feet, is a dramatic contrast to the arid landscape that surrounds it. Here the surrounding desert gives way to the lushness of the golf course while Orange and Almond trees thrive on well tended terraces. Snow melt in spring time from the Sierra Nevada mountains fill the wells and springs in the limestone that create the local natural water supply.
The nine holes that wind through the abundant flora and fauna are artfully constructed and blend beautifully into the valley landscape. Always a challenge and never to onerous the Cortijo Grande golf course is a family delight surrounded by stunning scenery which will live with you long after you return home. Complimenting this wonderful spot is the excellent Bar Almanzara, oozing rustic charm, its terraces under an ancient raised vine and serving traditional dishes of Andalucia it has been a favorite for many years.The homes and villas that dot the valley floor offer space, privacy and tranquility, quite different from the busy tourist resorts of the traditional Spanish Costa.
