It was designed by the architect owner especially for the disabled or elderly visitor who is confined to a wheelchair. Access from a car is simple as vehicles can pull up right outside the front door and be parked nearby.
The tracks from your door leads past the olive groves and beyond to the river Guadalfeo or into the terraces, full of orange, lemon, pomegranate and other exotic fruit trees amongst the ancient olives.
