A peaceful rural retreat in the heart of Andalusia

There are some problems that even seven years of living in Spain haven't solved...

Finding proper clotted cream is one of them. 😂

A test batch of homemade scones from the finca kitchen - because apparently living in rural Andalusia doesn't prevent the occasional craving for something thoroughly British!

The scones? Promising. 😋

The search for decent clotted cream - or even decent whipping cream that actually whips properly - remains ongoing.

Which leaves us with just one question...

Jam first or cream first? 👀

We're almost too afraid to ask. 😂

Winter stays work a little differently at Finca Gran Cerros.

From December, our accommodation becomes your own self-catering base in the Andalusian countryside - somewhere to unpack, slow down and settle into a different rhythm for a few days.

Make coffee when you wake up. Cook when you feel like it. Spend an afternoon reading in the winter sunshine. Head out to explore, then come home to somewhere warm and comfortable.

Each of our three accommodation options has its own character and outdoor space, with everything you need for an independent stay.

And on those clear Andalusian winter days, outside is rarely very far away.

Winter stays are now available from November.

But if you can't wait that long, check our catered availability at www.fincagrancerros.com for main season breaks later this year.

Proof (if it was ever needed!) that occasionally we do actually leave the finca... 😂

A rare day off for the two of us recently, swapping the hills for the coast and spending a quiet few hours out on the Mediterranean. ☀️⛵

Running Finca Gran Cerros means that we're usually at home - there's generally a guest arriving, something cooking, a garden job calling or one of the furry family demanding attention.

But every now and then, it's rather lovely to remember that we made the leap to move to Spain to carve out more quality time together - and with the sea not too far down the road, it seemed only right to take advantage of it!

Fear not, normal service resumed shortly afterwards. 😉

Winter is a rather lovely time to explore this part of Andalusia.

The summer heat has gone, the roads are quieter and some of our favourite places take on a completely different character.

Walk the Caminito del Rey without the intensity of midsummer. Spend a morning amongst the extraordinary limestone landscape of El Torcal. Wander through Málaga, stop for lunch somewhere local, or simply take the road and see where you end up.

And then come back to the finca.

One of the things we love about winter here is the choice it gives you. Some days are made for exploring. Others are made for doing very little at all.

Finca Gran Cerros is open for self-catering winter stays from December through to the end of February.

August in the garden... 🌺🌿

By this point in the Andalusian summer, keeping everything green becomes something of a challenge - mostly involving us, a straining irrigation system, a hosepipe, watering can and a great deal of optimism. 😂

But there are still corners of the finca determined to put on a show.

Bougainvillea cascading over the walls, vines creating welcome pockets of shade and little glimpses of the hills peeking through the greenery.

One of the pleasures of living here is watching the garden, and landscape beyond, change through the seasons.

Although we'll admit that in August, quite a lot of that watching is done in the dark, while it's cooler, holding a hosepipe or watering can! 💦😂

Winter at the finca has a different rhythm. ☀️

From December through to the end of February, Finca Gran Cerros becomes fully self-catering.

There’s no breakfast timetable and no evening meal service. Instead, you have your own little place in Andalusia — with your own kitchen, your own terrace and the freedom to decide exactly what each day should look like.

Breakfast when you feel like it. A walk before lunch. A day exploring Málaga, El Torcal or the Caminito del Rey. Or a book, a sunny terrace and absolutely nowhere you need to be.

It’s quieter. More independent. And rather lovely.

We’ve brought everything together on our new Winter in Andalusia page.

A little peek into the kitchen before these headed out to our guests... 🌿

Spinach and feta parcels, served warm as the starter for one of our evening meals recently.

Five evenings a week during our main season, guests can choose to have dinner here at the finca. The main course is set for each evening, while the starter and dessert are usually a little bit of a surprise!

Everything is home-cooked here, and we'll always do our best to accommodate dietary requirements when we know about them in advance.

Simple, relaxed food, made in our kitchen and served to you on your own private terrace.

Exactly how we (and hopefully, you!) like it. 💚

Winter at Finca Gran Cerros ☀️

We've welcomed guests during the winter before, but always rather quietly.

This year, we're doing things a little more thoughtfully.

From December through to the end of February, Finca Gran Cerros becomes fully self-catering - giving you your own little place in Andalusia and the freedom to experience this part of Spain entirely at your own pace.

There's no breakfast timetable and no evening meal service. Instead, you have your own kitchen, your own terrace and days that are completely yours.

Perhaps you'll walk the Caminito del Rey, explore Málaga or El Torcal, find somewhere lovely for a long lunch…

Or perhaps you'll make another coffee and decide not to go anywhere at all.

That's rather the point.

Winter at Finca Gran Cerros.
Experience Andalusia at Your Own Pace.

Sometimes our guests leave a little bit of themselves behind. ❤️

Returning guests arrived recently with lovely little additions for the garden - if you peek closely behind the lanterns, there's a new tiny cat, in honour of Harold, Burt and Florence.

Three of these little garden additions have found homes tucked amongst the plants; you'll have to keep an eye out for them as you wander around the finca.

We're very lucky that so many of our guests come back to see us year after year, and gestures like this are a lovely reminder of just how many people have become part of the Finca Gran Cerros story along the way. ❤️

Thank you Cathy & Russell - from us and all the furry ones! 🥰🐾

Sometimes, all you need is the sound of the birds and crickets chirping and water burbling... 🐦💦 🌞
