Green and water

The Golf links provide Condado de Alhama with a huge green lung, an incomparable landscape that covers flat land and elevations, lakes and palm groves, creating a mosaic of textures and colours, where houses interlace like fingers between the kilometers and kilometers of vegetation. 2,500,000 sqm of green in conjunction with 800,000 sqm (an area equivalent to 400 football pitches) of park land distributed throughout Condado make up this hubbub of nature, where thousands of tones are raised, hundreds of notes are playing the same melody: that of water on its endless journey.

Altos de Alhama

Opposite the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, we find Altos de Alhama, a group of buildings first line of golf. As its name indicated, Altos de Alhama is the highest place of Condado de Alhama. From the terraces of the apartments, you can enjoy the superb view. A superb area disappearing in the horizon. In the centre of the resort, we find the Foro, a space for leisure, sports, culture and shopping. A quiet place that meets all the residents' needs. The architecture of the apartments, designed by Melvin Villaroel, is thought to encourage open spaces. Terraces up to 20 square metres big, turn into little private gardens. The lines of both open and closed spaces melt, creating a comprehensive design where sun, water, air, vegetation and architecture meet together.

Cortijos de Alhama

In the most isolated and exclusive corner of the Condado de Alhama, we find Cortijos de Alhama. A hill holds up its properties while protected by the bushes that come down its sides. Cortijos de Alhama turns into a private place, of practically pedestrian precincts where children will find a space for playing and adults, a space for walking, relationships and rest. A perimeter fence that reinforces even more, privacy and security, surrounds Cortijos de Alhama. It is a luxury place for luxury properties. Cortijos de Alhama accommodates three types of villas: JazmĂn, Amapola and Azahar, making a total of 206 properties. Its architecture breathes Spanish tradition, recovering the layout of properties around a central inner courtyard where all the different buildings gather together. There is a balance of closed and open spaces, traditional AndalucĂan and old noble murcian houses.

About Spain

Spanish Culture

Widely known for Flamenco music and dance, bullfights, fantastic beaches and lots of sunshine, Spain has much more to offer than that. It is-and has been for thousands of years one of the cultural centres of Europe.

"Spain is different!", Spaniards use to say. They don't specify compared to what: to the rest of Europe, to the rest of the world, or even to itself ? We don't know either, but we do our best to supply you with lots of information so you can find the answer to this question and many others by yourself.

Spain has an extraordinary artistic heritage. The dominant figures of the golden age were the Toledo-based artists El Greco and Diego Velasquez. Francisco Goya emerged in the 18th century as Spain's most prolific painter and he produced some wonderfully unflattering portraits of royalty. The art world in the early 20th century was influenced by a remarkable group of Spanish artists: Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí

Spain's architecture ranges from prehistoric monuments in Minorca in the Balearic Islands, through to the Roman ruins of Mérida and Tarragona, the decorative Lonja in Seville, Mudéjar buildings, Gothic cathedrals, castles, fantastic modernist monuments and Gaudí's intricate fabulist sculptures. Important Buildings like "Sagrada Familia" of Gaudi

The Mudejar, a Spanish Art

Getting to know Mudejar art is a good reason to visit Spain, to feel it, discover its exciting history and enjoy the diversity of its culture. This art is unique in the world and is a symbol of the peaceful coexistence of peoples, bringing together the best of Moorish and Christian traditions. Its beautiful civil and religious buildings have been declared World Heritage by UNESCO.

A hybrid art par excellence, the origins of the Mudejar date back to the 11th century. The advance of the Christian army to reconquer land occupied by the Moors meant that many Muslim master craftsmen stayed at home, working for the royalty and aristocracy of Castile and Aragon. The result was a new architectural style, genuinely Spanish, whose strong personality impresses and delights tourists and researchers.

Many Mudejar buildings, both religious and civil, are still standing in Spain to this day: Christian chapels, Jewish synagogues and royal palaces. They combine elements of Romanesque and Gothic styles in their floor plans, with typical traits of Andalusí art such as semi-circular arches, wooden roofs and friezes and, above all, the use of brick, plaster and ceramics as building materials, rather than stone.

Despite being found across most of Spain, there are three main places for tourists to admire the most beautiful examples of Mudejar art: Aragon, Leon and Monuments.

Cathedral of Segovia

Aragon, especially, prides itself on its Mudejar architecture, six of whose buildings, built between the 11th and the 19th centuries, are included in UNESCO World Heritage: Santa María Collegiate Church, in Calatayud; Santa Tecla Fortress-church, in Cervera de la Cañada; Santa María Church in Tobed; and, in Zaragoza, the Aljafería Palace, the San Pablo parish church and The Cathedral.

Prior to that, in 1986, UNESCO had already declared the splendid San Pedro, San Salvador and San Martín towers, along with Teruel Cathedral’s tower, ceiling and dome, World Heritage. Teruel is considered to be the capital of Aragon's Mudejar art.

Castile and Leon's Mudejar has less Andalusí influence, although it is no less spectacular. A visit to Sahagún (Leon), is a must, since it is one of the pioneering centres of this art, where one can admire the San Lorenzo and San Tirso churches. Other important mudejar sites in Castile and Leon are the town of Toro (Zamora province), Coca Castle in Segovia and Lugareja Church inArévalo (Ávila province). The province of Valladolid must not be forgotten either, with monuments like Tordesillas Royal Palace or San Pablo Church in Peñafiel, along with a Mudejar themed attraction in the town of Olmedo, with exact scale models of Castile and Leon’s most emblematic Mudejar buildings

Built at the highest point of the town, construction of the cathedral of Segovia began in the year 1525, during the reign of Carlos V. It is in the late Gothic style and was built after the fire in the old Romanesque cathedral in the year 1520. It has a plan with three naves, lateral chapels and a semicircular sanctuary with an ambulatory. The temple, erected according to the design of Juan Gil de Hontañón, possessed three entrances: in the main front is the 'Del Perdón Door, the work of Juan Guas, in the southern front are the 'San Geroteo' and 'San Frutos' Doors. It measures 105 metres long by 50 metres wide and 33 metres high at the main nave. The main reredos is made of marble, jasper and bronze. It was consecrated in the year 1768.

La Alhambra de Sevilla

The splendour of the Nazarite era. The Alhambra is a beautiful collection of buildings and gardens. The tree-lined walks are luscious, providing pleasant shade and coolness, enhanced by the abundance of water that flows in its streams. thousands and thousands of monuments along all the peninsular area of Spain. of Spain

Gastronomy

Andalusia, fresh fish is a central food, usually fried in the region’s marvellous olive oil. The most appropriate dishes for the hot Andalusian summers are exquisite salads and the refreshing "gazpacho". Other quality products include cured hams, particularly those of the Jabugo variety, and a number of other pork derivates. The deserts, including the well-known "polvorones", have an Arab influence.

The cuisine of Extremadura, austere like its people, is dominated by meat, particularly the region’s tasty lamb and pork.

"Salmorejo"(a cold vegetable pure); "migas"(small bread chunks fried in lard); and stews, also figure in the region’s cuisine, alongside the Extremadurean Gazpachos.

Travelling northwest we come to Santander, Asturias and Galicia, all washed by the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Bay of Biscay, a factor which marks the gastronomic panorama of this region.

The most peculiar dishes include octopus, other seafoods, like spider crabs, scallops, clams, oysters, barnacles, and fish, the queen of them all being hake, followed by anchovy and the sardine.

There is also a great variety of high quality dairy products and cheeses.

Some splendid dishes are produced when combining such marvels:

"empanada"(a kind of savoury pie);
"pote gallego"(a stew similar to cocido);
"fabada asturiana"(a bean stew based on kidned beans, pork, onions and sausage);
cider, Ribeiro,white wine, and many other soups.

The Basque Country’s age-old gastronomic tradition has won its much culinary prestige. Basque cuisine is enriched by elements introduced from Navarre, La Rioja and southern France.

Fresh fish and virgin olive oil
As for the Cadiz assortment, the main ingredient is marinated dogfish, normally accompanied by puntillitas, anchovies, hake, red mullet and plaice. Normally a few slices of lemon are served with the dish, but this is not usual in Malaga or Seville. Another similar speciality is "tortillitas de camarones", tiny crustaceans mixed with a dough of wheat flour which is then fried.

Varieties of these three specialities can be found anywhere in Andalusia or in specialized bars throughout Spain. What these dishes have in common is that they must always be made with very fresh fish and virgin olive oil, changed frequently to avoid the mixing of tastes.

Sweet wines or sherries such as fino, manzanilla, amontillado and dry oloroso are a great choice for this dish. Should you prefer lighter wines, we suggest white or sparkling.

Nature

Climbing with sea views

The variety and quantity of rock, along with the number of schools to be found in Spain, make it one of the world's number one climbing destinations. The attractive walls near to Costa Blanca are an excellent option if you want to climb with sunshine and pleasant temperatures. Peñón de Ifach, El Ponoch and el Puig Campana have a good number of classic and sport climbing routes suitable for all levels. These three climbing areas are close to each other, not far from the tourist city of Benidorm

Parque Nacional de Doñana

Mosaic of ecosystems

The National Park's biodiversity is the result of the conjunction of different ecosystems.

The Park is noted for its extreme flatness. There, you can see a transition from the undulating topography of the 'cotos' to the marshes, which are the most noteworthy seeing as they provide a refuge for many migratory birds. The vegetation is also determined by the different ecosystems (dunes, sandy ground, fresh water and lakes...). With respect to the fauna, Doñana is home to a large number of species which, apart from the outstanding presence of the birds, includes the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardina), which has become an emblem of the Park, since it is a carnivore endemic to the Iberian Peninsula.

Spanish Coasts and Beaches

Costa Brava, Costa del Sol, Costa Verde, Costa da Morte, the Balearic Coast, and the Canarian Coast are some of the coasts that form the Spanish littoral. These historical beaches combine waterside fun with mountain activities, and invite the visitor to explore the beautiful seabed, the ideal setting to discover all the treasures that await in the Spanish littoral, whose reefs form multicoloured breakwaters that are bathed in sunlight at all times. The sand, caressed by salty waves, is watched by numerous fortresses that stretch along the entire coast; a littoral that is coveted and missed by those who love the sea, the sun, the gorgeous light, and history itself. In short, the Spanish littoral is an unforgettable, dynamic strip, always open to everyone who wishes to explore its most precious spots.
