Common Areas
The common areas of Cortijo del Pino combine history, nature and tradition.
In the main body of the Cortijo, the central courtyard of stone columns as reception and access to our point of sale of organic and local products.

Vines, pomegranate and fig trees, as well as orange, plum and lime trees, are some of the species most mentioned in those stories and today present in Cortijo del Pino.

Glorieta and Aljibe
