About 2,5 hectares of land is planted with mature almond trees (Marcona and Comuna varietal). Furthermore you find chestnut, walnut, fig, apple, apricot, cherry, quince, olive and more in various classes of maturity. Then there is a plot near the house in use as vegetable garden, a chicken pen and a dog pen. The upper part of the land is now left to nature but is classified to be irrigated and can therefore be cultivated.

About 40%, mainly because of lack of focus.

Almonds (organically certified) plus whatever you might want to develop! The land is considered "lo mejor" and the finca has allways been a local favorite. The studio is ideal for retreats and writing, painting, etc.
