Subject: 🏝️ Shall we be honest about summer in Andalusia? ☀️

What July & August actually feel like here.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
¡Hola Friend!

When people hear "summer in Andalusia", they often immediately think: hot, crowded, and exhausting. And quite honestly, it can be all of those things. At least, if you go about it the wrong way. 😉


Over the years, however, we've learned that summer here in Mojácar reveals an entirely different side if you simply surrender to its rhythm.

Picture your days with us at the Cortijo a bit more like this:


🌿 In the morning, you wake up peacefully – no alarm, no schedule, and absolutely no rush to be anywhere.

☕ You ease slowly into the day – with a proper coffee, gazing out over the wide open landscape and a breakfast that's honestly worth the trip alone.

🏖️ At midday, you simply do delightfully nothing. The pool, a shady spot under the palm trees, and a good book are quite enough.


☀️ In the afternoon, you continue this relaxation programme with admirable dedication. Only interrupted by a cool slice of watermelon, a refreshing drink, and occasionally – brace yourself, it's about to get active – a splash in the pool.

💃 In the evening, things turn properly Andalusian:

a flamenco show, followed by a stroll through the lanes of Mojácar, and then rounding off the day with fresh grilled fish, a crisp salad, and a chilled glass of white wine.

And if the beach does call your name in between? Don't worry.


As your personal local guides, we know exactly which hidden coves and quiet beaches to point you towards, so you'll never feel like a sardine in a tin – even in August. And for the evening, we'll happily secure a table for you at those authentic little restaurants where you can dine superbly, far away from the tourist crowds.

We'll take care of everything here – all you really have to do is arrive.

And to keep the journey itself just as relaxed, here's a practical tip from us. If you fancy a summer escape to Andalusia, April really is the sweet spot for planning. As we see year after year, flight and car hire prices tend to skyrocket from May onwards. Pinning down your dates now saves you not just money, but a great deal of organisational stress.


If reading this makes you feel that this is exactly the kind of summer you need, then now is a rather lovely moment to have a look:

P.S.

To make the decision just a little bit sweeter: if you secure your summer holiday (July or August) with us by the 30th of April, we'd love to treat you to a little 'Welcome to Summer' moment on your first evening. A beautifully chilled Tinto de Verano and a lovely selection of tapas waiting for you on the terrace – your holiday begins the very second you drive through our gates.
