Notes from the host
Casa de Familia
At the end of a paved road you will find Cortijo “La Cubertilla” in the middle of the olive groves. The road continues as a gravel path to the river. The white walled building of Cortijo "La Cubertilla" stands out in the green mountain setting. Walking through the gate you see a beautiful courtyard and a swimming pool with a beautiful view of the mountains behind it. We the owners and hosts Ron and William welcome you with open arms and are ready for you if necessary.
After a long search, he led us to this perfect place in Andalusia. We Ron and William had been dreaming for years about a place where people could relax, feel at home, enjoy the scenery and charge the battery. Somewhere where you can completely close yourself, but are close to other interesting places. And certainly not unimportant, it had to be warm, characteristic and atmospheric. That long wait was rewarded, because after years of searching we found an old cortijo with a large courtyard, whitewashed walls, beautiful authentic elements and that in a very quiet, rural environment.
Inside the Cortijo you can taste the typical Spanish atmosphere everywhere. The cortijo consists of 2x a 2 person apartments and a house for up to 8 people. Of course there is also our own house. The Spanish atmosphere that you taste outside is extended on the inside. Beautiful antique furniture and Spanish tiles.

Fuente Tójar, Spain - Andalusia, home of La Cubertilla
Fuente Tójar may not be the place you first think of when you go on holiday in Andalusia, but because of its convenient location, close to nature and between the most important cities, it is certainly a place from which you can go in all directions. It offers few amenities but there are three small supermarkets, three bars where they serve tapas and an ATM machine. In the summer months there is a bar / restaurant, part of the municipal swimming pool center, which also serves various tapas. Fuente Tójar is the closest to the city, the baroque gem Priego de Córdoba, the city with the most amenities in the region. Priego de Córdoba can be reached in less than 15 minutes from Fuente Tójar.
Priego de Córdoba
The capital of the Subbética region, offers a fantastic location on a plateau overlooking the Subbética mountain range. Although the history of Priego is more than 8,000 years old, the city came to the fore in the eighteenth century, when the richness of the silk and textile industry financed the construction or renovation of the Baroque churches and buildings for which it is famous . Most of Priego's monuments are within walking distance of the old center, built on the edge of the plateau around the thirteenth-century Moorish castle.
In Priego de Córdoba you have a beautiful historic neighborhood, Barrio de la Villa, and a baroque fountain Fuente del Rey.
The Barrio de la Villa district dates from the time the Moors lived here. It is the old center of Priego de Córdoba. Barrio de la Villa is partly walled and mainly consists of winding streets with whitewashed houses. This place is romance at its best! As a visitor, a walk through this originally Arabian neighborhood is a journey of discovery of beautiful places. As far as we are concerned, the highlight is Balcón del Adarve. This arc-shaped street is on the northeastern side of the village. The height of 55 meters gives an unobstructed panoramic view of the surroundings of Priego de Córdoba.
You can walk to Fuente de la Salud and Fuente del Rey via the beautiful Calle del Rio street. Along the way you see a number of beautiful and sometimes stately Andalusian buildings. The two fountains date from the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries. The place where they lie is mainly seen by the impressive Fuente del Rey as one of the most beautiful places in Priego de Córdoba. Some tourists even drive to Priego because of the fountains.
Yeah so
