Cortijo Bravo

These days, Andalusia is a world-renowned tourist destination, with some of the busiest and most dynamic coastlines in all of Spain; beaches constantly bustle as crowds of holidaymakers from near and far bask under the glorious Spanish sun. Venturing to the classic tourist spots is all well and good, but VeryChic is offering you the chance to rediscover the Andalusia that so inspired the great works of Lorca, from the comfort of the wonderful Cortijo Bravo.

Around 15 minutes’ drive away from the touristic hubbub of Torre del Mar, this charming boutique hotel sits in the heart of the beautiful green countryside, surrounded by a lush subtropical tree plantation. From the outside, the gleaming white structure is reminiscent of a traditional country house from the 19th century, giving you a taste of the Andalusia of yesteryear. A bubbling fountain gurgles in the middle of a chequered-tiled courtyard, encircled by soaring white columns that reach up to a brilliant skylight, inviting the delightful sunlight inside.

The 20 guest rooms, all unique, are elegantly decorated with noble materials and refined fabrics, giving them a luxurious edge. But although these enchanting spaces ooze old-style Andalusian charm, they’re soundproofed and equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi and a flat screen TV, boasting all the modern amenities you could want for a relaxing getaway. The charm continues through to the restaurant, where typical dishes of the region are served up alongside Mediterranean cuisine – a dining experience made even more glorious by eating al fresco on the terrace.

You can end your tranquil days in the lounge, slowly sipping your favourite drink as you watch the sun set over the lush greenery of the surroundings. Let the Cortijo Bravo transport you back to the true Andalusia, where you can experience divine cuisine and traditional accommodation just a stone’s throw from the bustle of the well-known tourist towns. We can certainly see where Lorca’s undying love for his region came from!
