The Cortijo El Saltador, is a large traditional farmhouse for holidays or groups to use as a center for activities. It is part of an old trainline used by the mines, which was descommissioned in 1943, and connected the nearby village of Lucainena de las Torres with the port of Agua Amarga. El Saltador (the jumper) with 55 hectars of land lies in the foothills of the Sierra Alhamilla, a magical desert landscape.

 
 

Using the existing walls, the house got built up between 2001 and 2003 with the help and the enthusiasm of workers and volunteers from all over the world.

The guestrooms surround a light open courtyard. In the mainhouse there is a seminarroom, a library, a spacious kitchen, an open outside eating space and several communal rooms to be used at your leisure.

 


By the year 2005 a second seminarroom, independent from the house, got finished.

Solar and whell

The house uses its own whell water and is supplied by a big solar system. It is a place of silence, reflection and relaxation in a beautiful setting close to the nature.
