There is a lot of information in this house with regard to its history. We loved wandering around the rooms of the house at our leisure and although there is no furniture in there, there is a lot of information on the walls which showed how it used to be. We loved it and thought it was well worth a visit.

After reading about the lighthouse, we walked from El Cotillo. You only have to walk on the road for a short while as there are tracks to take to avoid the traffic. It takes about 45-55 mins. Once at the lighthouse, it’s fab. There is a self guided trail to take which explains the fauna and landscape. The little coves, rockpools and beaches can keep you occupied for a long time. Sadly the cafe has permanently closed which was sad as we were looking forward to a drink on arrival but still with a visit!

Spent a few hours walking around El Cotillo. A great place to walk around, go to the small harbour and park there, free and loads of space. From the harbour take a walk to the Castillo de El Toston, which is visible from the harbour. A great place to just sit and watch the waves. There are 2 or 3 cafes/restaurants between the harbour and El Tostan, great for a drink and a cake
