Vacation Rental Description
Finca La Pura translates into English as Farm of the pure. No we did not name it so. It is, it,s historical name and is a very old house. There has been a house on this farm and on more, or less the same site for some 2000 years and possibly longer.
Finca La Pura lies in the heart of the Sierra Las Nieves nature reserve, a beautiful part of rural Andalucia, in what is reffered to as "The real Spain".
You will find fragments of pottery within the house which have been dated as Roman, or pre Roman. Why has this small part of Spain been so popular through the ages? In part through a natural spring that feeds it even during the long hot summer months.
A mineral water bottling plant has now been established at the bottom of the valley taking water from a nearby source.
Golf, the beach, fishing, and hill walking are just some of the activities available from this private Villa, or maybe you would prefer to relax by the private pool. The choice is yours
Finca La Pura. The House & grounds
