The house

A place you won't forget.

Cortijo Aloe is a house with character, built in the traditional architecture of Andalusian country houses and made so that those who arrive never want to leave.

It sits in the heart of San José, in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park — the largest protected natural area in western Europe. The beach is 500 metres away on foot, along a flat path, with no hills.

200 metres away: supermarket, children's playground, paddle court, restaurants, bars and marina.

Breakfast on the terrace at Cortijo Aloe, under the olive tree

The courtyard — the olive tree, the table, the silence
