The low hills around Agua Amarga are the perfect backdrop for Cortijo Los Malenos, a rambling little cortijo that has become the epitome of rural chic. The hotel sits in acres of grounds that provide so much peaceful space, surrounded by the Cabo de Gata Natural Park and just a few minutes drive from the charming little beach and village of Agua Amarga.
The gardens and patios of Cortijo Los Malenos offer numerous little corners and spaces to relax, read, sunbathe or sip a cooling drink. On the hillside above there is a delightful swimming pool that harmonises with its surroundings, coloured to blend in, not clash.
Indoors too, there are lots of places to relax. The reading room has a little library, lots of information about walks and attractions in the area and even a book of ideas and recommendations put together by previous guests. The bodega is a quiet little spot to have a drink and there are often exhibitions about the Natural Park.
The charming rooms combine quality with simplicity. Fresh clean white walls come with rustic tiled floors and wooden beams, evoking the character of yesteryear yet never missing the comforts of today. This is best seen in the approach to maintaining comfortable temperatures: the thick walls and small windows ensure that air conditioning is not necessary, while solar-powered underfloor heating (backed up by gas) provides the warmth in winter.
Cabo de Gata is a wonderful stretch of coastline: 40 kilometres of virgin cliffs and beaches, punctuated by just a small number of tiny villages, with Agua Amarga being one of the prettiest. A real "get-away-from-it-all" holiday.
