The valley of Cortijo Grande, flanked by mountains that rise to almost 1,000m above sea level, is an ancient oasis in the traditionally arid region of Almeria. In the heart of a province claiming the only desert in Europe, El Cortijo Grande has become deservedly famous for its verdant landscape and profuse vegetation.
Here the surrounding desert gives way to the lushness of the golf course, while almond, olive, orange and carob trees flourish on fertile terraces. Spring melts of the Sierra Nevada on the western horizon and local springs and wells in the limestone strata supply our private natural water sources.
