La Mejorana – A Charming Andalusian Retreat in Nature
Escape to La Mejorana, a cozy and fully equipped country house nestled in the heart of Andalusia, surrounded by olive and oak trees. Located in Villanueva de Tapia, it offers the perfect balance between tranquility and adventure, with easy access to some of the most beautiful towns in the region, such as Antequera, Archidona, and Iznájar, all within a 30-minute drive.
