Upon arrival at Málaga Airport, your holiday can begin right away. The half-hour drive to Cortijo Juan Salvador is already a promise of what’s to come: a winding mountain road passing small villages and lined with eucalyptus trees swaying in the breeze. In the distance, the cortijo appears—a white oasis tucked away among the lush green hills of the Montes de Málaga Nature Reserve. A fantastic location, just 25 minutes from the historic centre of Málaga!
