During our holidays we were always heading into sunny areas. We learned to love Spain, Andalucia, the Costa del Sol, especially the Axarquia with its unspoiled nature, the wild woods and mountains, the Sierras, sleepy lakes, roaring waterfalls, whirling creeks and in front of all that the Mediterranian Sea, partly with rough cliffs, at other places with lovely sandy beaches and bights ...

We found all those lovely spots like in America, only just a little bit smaller, more modest, more contemplative, and sometimes much more charming ... All this did fascinate us more and more, nothing at all talking about the weather!

So we moved to enthusiasm by this lovely region and decided to look here in this Axarquia for a place for us. We were dreaming of a huge piece of land, at least some thousand squaremeters with venerable trees or woods, an own creek, with an old, impressive Hacienda style building ...

And what did we find? At the end of a bad dirt track in the middle of nowhere a ruin without any roof, neither electricity nor water, just 4.000 m2 of land on a rocky ridge, but directly at the boundary of the unique wild Sierra Tejeda and Almijara Natural Park with thousands of squarekilometers of pure nature behind us, 'all ours' ...

From the first moment on this peaceful spot it was absolutely clear: That's it !!! We couldn't say why. A tickling in our stomachs told us to realize right here our dreams.

... When you once have been fallen in love ...

But our dream of having a holiday home under the sun didn't last very long. After some holidays on this warm and sunny place we were in the mood for not going back into the bad weather again. And just one year later we arranged a big gift party, gave away our umbrellas, fur coats and rainboots and headed into the Axarquia 'for good'.
