Spring is the time to visit the south of Spain!

After what feels like an endless winter, spring is finally creeping up on us, with some gorgeous warm, sunny days on the way!


As we know, southern Spain can be incredibly hot in the summer months, especially July and August, so springtime is probably the very best time for a relaxing holiday in the warm sunshine.

Had enough of the coastal towns, crowded beaches and English pubs?  Maybe take a different route this spring and visit the more rural areas.  Sheer beauty, incredible views, and yet still within easy reach of the major attractions.

The hillsides are gradually covering with their spring plumage, making it a pleasure to drive along, visiting the many small villages inland from the Costa del Sol.

All Spain Rural Accommodation has recently added some wonderful new charming and rural bed & breakfast options in the countryside:


1.  In Axarquia - mountainous land of white villages, olive and almond trees and wonderful country views, lies Casa Colina, a beautifully renovated farmhouse, run by Paul and Niki.


A great place to stay if you are looking to explore the sites of Andalucia or just relax by the pool in beautiful surroundings.

Lunches and dinners are prepared daily from locally sourced produce, including fresh eggs from their 12 hens and home-reared chickens. All meats used at Casa Colina are free range and where possible organic.

Guests can choose from 4 individually styled suites, all of which have a drinks fridge and tea/coffee making facilities.  And just look at the view!



2.  Near the historic and fascinating mountaintop town of Ronda, we can find Montejaque, an intriguing and typical Andalucian village in the mountains, surrounded by wonderful views.


If you would love to visit Ronda, but prefer to stay somewhere a little quieter, the perfect bed & breakfast option is Casa el Corchito:


Located in the village of Montejaque, near Ronda, Andalucia, Spain, enjoy a relaxing stay in a friendly and smokefree environment. Clean, comfortable and affordable.

Casa El Corchito is located in the Andalucian mountains on the edge of Grazalema Natural Park, only 15 km from the historic town Ronda.

The surrounding area will attract you to experience a mixture of a relaxing, a sportive and cultural holiday.  You can enjoy a good climate, all year round, many interesting sites (historical, cultural and natural, easy travelling distance to the beaches and cities and many sports opportunities, including climbing cycling and walking, especially with 3 natural parks close by.

Of Dutch origin, the owners, Rob and Coby will ensure a pleasant stay and will assist with all your touring, walking, and watersports needs.




So consider southern Spain for a warm break in springtime.  You will not regret it!
