🏡 El Mirador del Valle: Our Cortijo in the Sierra de Cádiz Welcome! We open the doors of our Rural Hostel in San José del Valle. Imagine an authentic village, where life moves at a much gentler pace... that's our spot. We are in a cortijo dating back to 1866 that we have lovingly restored. We maintain the spirit of the past (history, warmth) with all the modern comforts. ⭐ What will make you stay: * Relax with Views: Calm is our best offer. Enjoy the panoramic views of the valley and the mountains, or unwind by the saltwater pool in the courtyard. (Keep in mind: the pool is open daily from April to September, weather permitting, of course). * Home Cooking: Our food is 100% homemade. We open the restaurant on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from April to September. And you absolutely must try our weekend Countryside Breakfasts (Desayunos Camperos). 📍 An Unbeatable Central Base: Use us as your base of operations. From here, you can plan mountain days and, the next day, escape to the beach without any trouble: * 20 min away: The famous Jerez Circuit. If you like motorsports, remember to book tickets in advance. * 30 min away: Jerez de la Frontera, ideal for visiting wineries. * 45 min away: A jump to the White Villages (Arcos, Medina, Alcalá de los Gazules). * Right next door: Los Alcornocales Natural Park. Perfect for quiet walks or cycling. 🗺️ Flavors and Plans of the Land: * Gastronomy rules here: Retinto beef, olive oil from the sierra, artisan cheeses... you have to try it all! * And if you happen to be here for the MotoGP Grand Prix (April) or our summer festivals, the atmosphere is truly unique.

Hello! I'm Jonatan, and here I am, running this lovely Rural Hostel. This isn't just a business, it's our home... a cortijo dating back to 1866 that my family and I have poured our hearts into. My mission? That when you arrive, you feel time stop and you can finally breathe. The peace in the Sierra de Cádiz is magical, and I love seeing our guests truly disconnect. I'd be delighted to be your host and share those secrets only locals know: * For Disconnecting: I'll guide you to the quietest corners where you can read or simply enjoy the valley views... with your freshly brewed coffee! And yes, the saltwater pool is wonderful for slowing down the pace. * At the Table: Since I adore good food, I assure you our kitchen is pure traditional flavor. Please, don't leave without trying our molletes with Iberian ham for the countryside breakfast. It's an experience! And if you have a good palate, ask me about the best wineries or that Retinto beef and Red Tuna spot no one knows about. * Culture and Routes: If you feel like exploring, I'll prepare a perfect itinerary. No rush at all: quiet excursions to White Villages like Arcos or Medina Sidonia, full of history, or an easy walk through Los Alcornocales. In short: we are here to make you feel welcome and comfortable, ensuring you leave with a memory of quality and authenticity. Welcome to your other home! 🏡✨
