Love of culture
Andalusia was under Moorish rule from the 8th to the 15th century. The beautiful architecture of, among others, the Alcazaba of Malaga and the Alhambra Palace in Granada bear witness to this to this. The authentic, colourful streets and shaded squares of Andalusia's towns and villages ooze history. Moreover, the larger cities of Andalusia are dotted with museums. Andalusia is therefore a true delight for culture lovers.
Centrally located
Casa Olivar is located within walking distance of the village centre of Tocon, a sub-minicipality of Illora. Montefrio, the adjacent municipality, was selected by National Geographic for its exceptionally beautiful views. The beautiful Granada and the world famous Alhambra are barely half an hour's drive away. Malaga as well as the coastal region and the Sierra Nevada can be reached within an hour's drive. Even Cordoba and Seville can be visited from Casa Olivar within a 2 and 2.5 hour ‘s drive respectively. Casa Olivar is ideally located to discover the authentic Andalucia!
No mosquitoes
