Cortijo Rosas Cantares

Experience the real southern Spain

Between the townships of Pizarra and Álora in eastern Málaga, the area of "white villages" of immeasurable charm, lies the “finca” Rosas-Cantares, a retreat with overflowing nature and rural peace that makes it ideal for a holiday far from the urban bustle of the cities or coastal areas of the region.

Rosas-Cantares is an estate of 660 hectares, on which active farming and livestock define the daily activity. Olive groves, wheat fields and cattle breeding of French “Limousin” cows are the products for which the farm is known. The finca is made up of several smaller farms that the Buhofer family has been acquiring since 1986, when the founder, Henry Buhofer, first came to Pizarra.

Each estate had its own “cortijo”, the dwellings originally built for the farmers who owned the land. These buildings in many cases date back over 200 years and were designed and built with the means and wisdom of the natives of these lands.

Today, they have been refurbished and furnished to include all the comforts and luxuries of contemporary life, without losing the charm of the original Andalusian traditions.
