10 minutes after pasing Ronda starts the old railroad of Estacion de Parchite
which leads directly to Prince Alfonso's Cortijo de las Monjas.

To one side of this very peaceful railroad are growing wonderful old olive trees
and to the other a large forest of holm oak.

Suddenly, in the midst of this landscape,
you arrive across an expanse of immaculately tended grape vines...

Welcome to   El Cortijo de las Monjas
