We are in the countryside, on the outskirts of the Vega of Granada, between the villages of Alhendín (1.5 km. from the house) and Las Gabias (1 km. away,) and 800 m. from the Granada Golf Club.
Granada, home to the Alhambra and the old Moorish quarter Albaicin is just 10 km away from Cortijo Algabia. We are on the edge of the Vega of Granada, the land supplied with water by rivers originating in the north of the Sierra Nevada and near the Sierra Nevada National Nature Park and the southern side of the province.
There are many views from the hill of Cortijo Algabia, including the city of Granada and the Sierra Nevada, as well as the surrounding farmlands of the Vega and its seasonal crops (corn, tobacco, garlic, potatoes, grain, etc.) all scored by roads and narrow highways where the locals go out to walk, run or bike.
