The 9-hole golf course in the valley is not a commercial venture at the moment but is challengingly playable thanks to local volunteers from Cortijo Grande Club de Golf who tend the greens. Cortijo Grande was originally a traditional Spanish village with orange groves and when the valley was developed in the 1970's, the original buildings were retained. This property has been refitted in the traditional 'Rustica' style

Flanked by groves of orange & olive trees and watered by an underground volcanic lake this picturesque location has been popular for many years. Although there are only 9 holes there are 18 tees. There are a variety of small urbanisations of assorted styles with apartments, duplexes and detached villas on the edge of the course.

The town of Turre is a short drive away located in the valley of the Rio Aguas. Dating back to the times of the Moors today’s Turre is a bustling little market town. The labyrinth of streets in the old town are dotted with tapas bars and in the main square the natural fountain supplies drinking water to visitors all year round while the main thoroughfares offer a variety of shops, bars and restaurants that cater for all tastes and ages. Friday’s are market days when local produce, amongst other items, is abundantly available. Dotted with small pensions and hostels in and around the town Turre is a great little Spanish hideaway where one can enjoy local cuisine in a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere.
