| A HOME IN SIERRA DE ARACENA | |
|
This is a really amazing Le Corbusier- style country home, right in the middle of Sierra de Aracena green paradise. Just a few minutes walk away from a charming white village. In Aracena (5 minutes by car) are all town services (shops, post office, medical center, schools) available. The coast is 90 km. away, Sevilla, 85 km. and Portugal, 90. The owner of the house describes this not very well- known oasis of peace and natural beauty: “Sierra de Aracena is a part of the wide Sierra Morena family. The mountains protect the valleys from the northern winds, the water appears here and there creating small rivers... all these conditions contribute to the very special microclimate of this small region, and also to the amazing fertility of these lands. Cork trees, chesnut trees and evergreen oaks cover hills, valleys and mountains. Meadows, fruit and olive gardens do, too. This region is preserved from the outer world, as most of it has a high ecological value, protected by the local laws. The distances among the small white villages are short. Everything contributes to an atmosphere that helps to an easy convivence. It is a unique, singular world.” | |
