Molino Nuestra Señora de la Luz
At the crossroads of history and old legends rises the white and magnificent town of Arcos de la Frontera, declared a National historic/artistic Landmark.

Main entrance

Arcos- the Cathedral Santa Maria, one of seven churches in a walled town of 4000 people
Patio
Just a few kilometres from this village lays the Finca Barranco, a charming country estate that combines the beauty of the mountains with the rolling farm lands and olive tree groves on 400 hectares (just under 1000 acres). One of the best assets of the Finca Barranco is the country mansion- “Molino Nuestra Señora de la Luz”, a traditional Andalucian farm which dates back to 1754 and served as an olive oil mill.

In what was once the old mill and today is a dining room, travellers will be able to enjoy the most delicious dishes of traditional Mediterranean cuisine, prepared with products grown & sometimes: hunted, on the estate.

This building complex adds a number of rooms and adjacent houses to the farm, some attached to the main building. The others are scattered around the estate and were once used as lodging for the mill workers.

The gentle climate of the Sierra in Cádiz, with average temperatures near 20ºC, is ideal for activities like hiking, outdoor photography, horseback riding, exploring the ancient town of Arcos, mountain biking, swimming, hunting, water sports, golf and much more.

The Saloon is equipped with billiards, and in winter and fall, when the temperatures are a little lower, guests can sit close to the fire-place and enjoy a glass of wine watching the flames.

This room is decorated with some very beautiful artifacts from the past.

The saloon, or billiards room, also has a self-serve bar (honour system) and television.
