Cloud House Farm, Andalucia

Cloud House Farm is a mountain hideaway that will open its doors, or awnings, in August 2010. There are a number of secret yurt spots deep in a cork oak forest on this 300-year-old farm, plus rope swings and river swimming here in the Rio Genal valley, with the Sierra Bermeja mountains forming the perfect backdrop. Day trips could include a hike or a mountain-bike expedition, or just stroll around the farm until you find the perfect wild swimming spot.

Walking In Andalucia, by Guy Hunter-Watts. ISBN: 978-84-89954-55-7

Cloud House Farm is on one of Guy’s most noted walks from the beautiful white village of Genalguacil to Benarraba. (Page 147, The Walk of the Vizir’s Garden).

The latter half of the journey takes you down from Genalguacil with the spectacular mountain views, then across the Rio Almarchal, past the Roman ruin bridge & up over Benestepar directly passing Cloud House Farm. And then onwards to the Rio Genal crossing before the climb back up to Benarraba.
