After the charming village setting of Dimobe and Viñedos Verticales, and the sweeping views stretching out below the elegant slate structure that houses Betomiz, I didn’t know what to expect next when Susana, owner of Bodega Capuchinas Viejas met me near Málaga to take me out to their cortijo near Antequera. Unlike the other two places I’d visited high up in the Axarquía, Capuchinas Viejas is located on a sprawling 20 hectare estate, where they grow both olives and grapes, for their own use as well as to sell.

The García Segura family has owned the estate since the beginning of the 80s, when Susana’s father purchased an abandoned monastery, and it remains very much a family-run venture, with respect for both the land and local traditions.

I was quite awestruck as Susana let me inside through the front gate (the place is surrounded by giant Mastiff guard dogs) and then continued to open massive door after door that opened onto magical courtyards and gardens, a bird coop that houses peacocks, gorgeous event rooms, the bodega itself, and family apartments. This is clearly a labour of love.

Almohalla 51 pool

After a couple of days slumming it at the Antequera Parador I’ll be spending a night at this dive… Almohalla 51 in Archidona! I’m actually very excited as I’ve heard nothing but great things about this fabulous B&B. When I found out that Archidona is just a 2o minute bus ride from Antequera it seemed like a good idea to also check out the Almohalla. And as luck would have it they had a room for me! Alternatravels research continues…  🙂

parador antequera
So remember back in February when I won this? Well, what with this and that, I hadn’t got round to booking a Parador Hotel for my free night (with brekkie) and then the other day I realised that if I didn’t do this in June then I’d have to wait until September. So I’m going to Antequera next week! Which has been on my “to do” list for ages. And it also fits in with being able to get some research done for Alternatravels. Win-win!
