The location of the house is a perfect base all year round for exploring western Andalucia. If you enjoy hiking or mountain biking, the Sierra de las Nieves National Park is adjacent to the house. The beautiful historic city of Ronda is only 31 km from the house combined with a stunning drive through breathtaking scenery along the way. The vertiginous Caminito del Rey is only 1 hour away.
We moved here in the summer of 2016 after spending the last 20 years running a garden design company in London. We specialised in designing and building Mediterranean, drought tolerant gardens for clients in and around the South East of England. However it was always our dream to create a true Mediterranean garden here in Spain whilst enjoying a completely different lifestyle and a slower pace of life.
We stayed in many different parts of Andalucía before finally deciding to settle here in Yunquera.
The spectacular mountain environment combined with the style of the house and the opportunities to create a special place to live and welcome visitors whilst creating our own mediterranean garden convinced us that this was the perfect location for our new adventure.
