Corralon holiday house is ideally located on the edge of Castril Nature Park, only a few minutes´drive from amenities and services (bar/restaurants, supermarket, petrol station…) and Castril village.

This lovingly restored Andalusian cortijo (farmhouse) has been turned into four charming self-catering fully-equipped apartments for our guests to enjoy quality time with loved ones, on an action-packed holiday, savouring the authentic Andalusia!

The sun shines almost every day of the year and from the Corralon, we get surprisingly beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Its large picture windows overlook stunning views of Sierra Nevada at the front, and the Corralon bird sanctuary at the back, home of the native griffon vulture, golden eagle and peregrine falcon, deer and mountain goat, right in the heart of Granada Geopark.

Enormous old pines surrounding our guesthouse give shade to eat and chill outside. Shimmering large family pool and private carpark too!

Castril nature and cultural immersion – an unforgettable family adventure along a stunning suspended wooden walkway, jutting out from a rock over cascading waters.
