High in the hills, above the Costa del Sol lies the lovely town of San Pablo de Buceite. A quintessential pueblo blanco or "white village" so called because of the startlingly bright white stucco walls of the houses perched on hillsides, San Pablo is a quiet village with all the amenities necessary for living in your house in Spain. Nearby is the larger town of Jimena de la Frontera where an ancient castle dominates the landscape and towers over the town. Busy with tourists and residents alike, Jimena is a grand start for your explorations of the highlands of Andalucia.

Within an hour are the coast and the famous beaches of Sotogrande and Estepona, and a bit further afield, the incomparable beach at La Bolonia where the white sand stretches for miles. Going up into the hills, you can visit more white villages, among them Gaucin and Montejacque. You can also reach the Pileta Caves for a day trip to see the glyphs of the earliest of the residents of Spain. Ubrique, where leather products are made for Burberry and Mulberry, is about 1 ½ hours. And, probably the town that merits the most attention in the area is the astounding town of Ronda where the "old" town and the "new" town are divided by a stunning gorge.

The house is reached by driving on a 2km long "unmade" road that leads straight through orange groves. Not an arduous drive, the surface can be rough. The owners of Finca Zarita have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. High ceilings and open spaces invite you to come into the house. There is an open plan living/dining room with satellite TV, CD/DVD player, and a large picture window overlooking the valley. Comfortable furniture, a wood-burning stove for cool evenings, a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, and a utility room with a washing machine allow you to make yourself totally at home. The house is equipped with a telephone and broadband Internet connection.

There are two bedrooms. One has a queen-sized bed and ensuite bath with tub. The other has twin beds and ensuite bath with shower. There is also an additional half-bath.

Outside, there is a wonderful view of the hills beyond the carefully planted garden. The terrace, equipped with garden and beach chairs, the pool (8 x 4 m.), and a covered area with BBQ for dining al fresco, provide the perfect way to wrap up the day.
