A cross between an 'oruga' (Spanish for caterpillar) and something made from Origami. A very origina tent. A space all to yourself with it's own bathroom and simply stunning views 200 meters above sea level, with a view across the Strait Of Gibraltar.
The space
DESCRIPTION FOR THE GUESTHOUSE AND OTHER SPACES:
The whole first floor of the rebuilt and recently refurbished 100 year old rural country house is divided into 5 unique bedrooms, each one with its special charm. All are equipped with wooden shutters to keep out the sometimes too bright sunlight and the heat in summertime. The views are breathtaking and one cannot get enough to fill one's heart with the beauty of this almost untouched part of the Spanish peninsula. The most southern tip of Europe, only a dolphin's leap across to Morocco, the African continent.
The community kitchen with inside and outside stoves invite to cook your favorite meals and devour them at the oval wooden table in the middle of the shaded patio. The grill invites to cook shrimps and eggplants on it. Gazpacho the famous, delicious mixture of cucumbers, tomatos, olive oil and dried bred is being prepared in the blender and kept in the fridge to refresh you in the heartwarming heat of the long summer days. Fresh fruit juices are centrifuged in the practical kitchen appliance and will guarantee a stay in Paradise, gastronomical bliss. The hammock await you for your after lunch siesta. La dolce far niente par excellence. The climate is incomparable to anything in the northern hemisphere. Cool sea breezes, coming wavelike across 6000 km of pure, cool waters of the gigantic Atlantic ocean, often bring fresh relief from the dry, hot desert wind risen over the Sahara sand which is so loved by the many windsurfers only 4 miles to the southwest.
A reed encircled lake born from the springs on the hilly side of our land, called the "National Park Of Los Alcornocales”, an Eden, an untouched fleck of earth.
A picture is worth a thousand words and it is left to you how to indulge your fantasies, and how deep you will enjoy your leisure and enjoyment with us.
Inspired as you will feel you will heat up the pizza oven to bake your favorite cakes in it after a few hours of warmup time. The turning grill is apt to grill the fish that you have caught in the ocean or bought in our local fish market.
The main migrations flight paths of all migrating birds to Africa and back are straight above our land. The swallows nest here in spring and early summer. Storks breed their young here before they fly on to the North. Various colonies of vultures permanently live here and feast on dead animals. The artists of gliding are so apt to use the slightest breeze to lift them into the heights. Thousands of birdwatchers come here every year to indulge to their beloved hobby.
You have not seen a sunset if you have not seen a sunset at the Costa de la Luz, the coast of light. A natural phenomena extends the twilight of dusk during almost two hours.
The sunlight is being relayed through the water of the Atlantic ocean and reflected back to the sky in our area. This is what gave the name to our region.

Guest access
Our estate is over four hectares in size (400m by 100m) and 200m above sea level. We have a natural swimming pool constantly fed by spring water (no chlorine or chemicals, and with four resident frogs!) and a huge lake with boats and other toys, both 300 yards away.
AND WHAT IF I CHOOSE THE WRONG SPACE?
No problem. If you booked one of our individual spaces and you see another one that that you want to try, we'll swap you around (upgrade or downgrade). Try out another one of our diverse rooms, tents, domes and remote spaces after a few nights or experiment on your first night in the tent by the lake or in the Wooden Box at the end of the estate... and then settle for a more conventional bedroom of bricks and mortar, you are welcome to do so, if we have vacancies. Experience your hearts desires.
COMMUNICATIONS:
We have free WiFi. Please note we don't have WiFi available in any of the spaces. Just in the admin buildings by the entrance.
We do not encourage our guests to bring their smart phones and computers with them and you are requested not to use them in the public areas of the Guesthouse when other guests could be inconvenienced.
Fax, copy and scanning services are also available. We have a strong signal for all mobile telephone companies.
We maintain an emergency message service for people who come here for silent retreats and want to disconnect from the craziness of modern telecommunication.
Other things to note
Thousands of birdwatchers (twichers!) come here every year to indulge their hobby. The main migrations flight paths of all migrating birds to Africa and back are straight above our land. The swallows nest here in spring and early summer and skim across our lake to drink. Storks breed their young here before they fly on to the North. Various colonies of vultures permanently live, breed and feast on dead animals just 20 yards from the road at the top of our mountain. The artists of gliding are so apt to use the slightest breeze to lift them into the heights.

Where you’ll be
Facinas, Andalusia, Spain
DISTANCIAS - DISTANCES - DISTANZEN
The distance to: BEACH OF VALDEVAQUEROS is approx. 6 km, (1 km = 0.62 miles) by road, approx. 8 km
The distance to: BOLONIA BEACH is approx. 8 km, by road approx. 11 km.
The distance to: TARIFA town is approx. 18 km, by road, approx. 20 km
The distance to: FACINAS town is approx. 1 km (20 minutes walk), by road, approx. 4 km
Natural springs pour out of the mountain everywhere. Our own lake and swimming pool is fed by them. Daffodils in their thousands grow wild where water collects. Ancient palaeolithic tombs are abundant, one just 20 yards from our entrance in the shape of a boat pointing East (as they all do)
Bring carrots to feed the donkeys and horses! Our neighbourhood is a sparsely populated hamlet with a considerable number of animals within the cattle grid boundary. Cows, (tame) bulls, chickens and the extraordinary site of Griffon vultures, hawks, etc. flying overhead will entertain you as you drive 2km up to Los Baños.
The Roman city of Baelo Claudio is just 15 minutes away by the Bolonia Beach. A must-see for all you culture vultures.

My work: Yoga, Personal Retreats, Detox and Meditation
I spend too much time: Let's play chess!
Baños de Luz it's a place of reflection, integration and meditation.
Whether it's complete solitude or a daily regimen of healthy eating, exercise, sunshine or the cleansing of the ocean.Let Baños de Luz be that garden to plant and nurture the seeds again!
If you get overwhelmed with all that leave and serenity then you can escape to nearby Tarifa, 17 kilometres away for true Spanish cultural and character infusion,or the nearby beautiful beaches
