Local Area

Cortijo Jacaranda is located just 40 minutes from Malaga Airport with easy access to some lovely coastal resorts, but set far enough inland to enjoy the peace and tranquillity that this region of Spain also offers.

It’s a perfect base for exploring the beautiful area of Andalucía with easy access to major roads, as well as being a walking, cycling and golfing paradise.

There is plenty to do in the local area.

The local whitewashed villages of Pizarra and Alora are less than 15 minutes by car and have a selection of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, banks and a post office. They also have a good Information Centre to give you more ideas of what to see and do whilst visiting the area.
