Set in over 3 acres of olive, orange and almond groves, Cortijo la Joya is a converted farm. We had planned to provide three self catering units in the old stables but this is on hold at the moment as there are difficulties with planning permissions here, as there are in most of Spain. However we do have a guest suite so we love having friends and family to visit!
Be sure to save this site and watch this space for more news of the self catering units which should be available soon.
On the 13th September 2008 Sheelagh and Tony celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in the corral. This was another happy event with over 50 people enjoying a typical Spanish lunch followed in the evening by a great hot buffet supplied by our friends Karen and Fernando who run Bar Health in Lanjarón. Dancing followed into the early hours to a live Blues/Reggae band.
It was lovely to see so many friends and family making the journey from UK to join us - many of them seeing La Joya for the first time.
The long weekend (which included Sheelagh’s birthday - another small party around the pool!) was blessed with fine, sunny weather which was a great relief as there had been a thunder storm on the previous Wednesday and it rained again the day after the last guest left! Perfect! They all saw La Joya at its very best.

The swimming pool is now heated with it’s own solar system which keeps the water temperature at a constant 30 deg. There is also a large permanent shaded area which is very necessary in the hot summer months.
During the winter months the pool is covered but retains its water which is constantly filtered and remains clean. It drops to 11 -16 degrees so is too cold for swimming but the gardens are in flower all through the winter and the sun continues to shine so it is still a beautiful spot to recline and read a book.
