A perfect day at Cortijo Valverde
Sometimes, the best days are the ones where you stay close to home, but still feel the magic of discovery. At Cortijo Valverde, a perfect day unfolds naturally, between peace, sunshine, and a touch of adventure.
8:30 AM – Wake up with the hills
The first light slips through your window. Birds are already singing, and the olive trees gently rustle in the breeze. There’s no alarm clock here, just the rhythm of nature and the promise of a new day.
Step out onto your private terrace with a fresh cup of coffee or tea, everything you need is in your room. Breathe in the morning air and take in the peaceful views before breakfast calls.
9:00 AM – Long, lazy breakfast
Your day begins with a generous breakfast served by us. Fresh bread, local cheeses, granola, fruit, yogurt, eggs made to order, plus good coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. Sit back, take in the view, and plan your perfect morning.
11:00 AM – Explore Álora & enjoy a local lunch
After a slow start, it’s the perfect time to explore. Drive or walk into the charming village of Álora, just a few minutes drive away. Visit the castle at the top of the hill, stroll through narrow streets, and soak up the local life.
Hungry? Grab lunch or tapas at one of the many local spots in town, our LINK - blog on restaurants nearby has plenty of tasty suggestions.
3:00 PM – Back for some downtime
Return to Cortijo Valverde for a well-earned siesta by the pool. Read, nap, swim, or do absolutely nothing in one of our quiet garden corners. The views, the stillness, the air, it’s all here for you.
6:00 PM – Golden hour peace
As the sun starts to drop, the hills around you turn golden. Wander through the olive trees, take a glass of wine from the (honesty) bar, or just watch the sky shift into evening
8:00 PM – Dine with us — or out in Álora
A few nights a week, we host dinner at the cortijo: from relaxed BBQs to 3-course surprise menus or paella under the stars. On other evenings, head into Álora to try one of our favourite local spots, again, check our LINK dining blog for inspiration.
10:30 PM – Stargazing in silence
Finish the day as peacefully as it started. The stars shine bright above the valley, and Álora glows softly in the distance. Nothing but stillness, fresh air, and maybe a final toast to a perfect day.
Tomorrow? You can do it all again or choose a new adventure.
That’s the beauty of Cortijo Valverde: Close to everywhere, far from it all.
