Whenever possible the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides is avoided. Grounds: The property (with a total of 13,000 m2) is located in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park and includes cultivated areas (olive trees, almond trees, and fruit trees), and a wild area (holm oaks, esparto grass, and herbs) that covers the hill where the building rises and protects it from the light coming from the urban centers. Activities & Excursions: The spot called Los Cahorros has been remodeled in recent years: the suspension bridge was reformed to make it safer, three others were constructed and new tracks with stepped stretches were added. The area is very fashionable amongst rock climbers, who have marked out numerous upward routes in the steep rock faces of the River Monachil Gorge, where it is common to see them perform acrobatic feats. Hiking Route: From the Portachuelos plots, crossing Los Cahorros until reaching the spot called Las Azuelas, returning along the area of the Cortijo del Cerrillo.
