location

Cortijo San Blas is situated just 10 minutes from Velez Rubio and in an ideal location for discovering historic places of Andalucia and Murcia with the opportunity of enjoying such activities as walking, bird watching, painting, mountain biking, horse riding, golf, quad biking, paragliding, sight seeing, diving, and skiing during the winter months in Sierra Nevada.

Originally a fortified medieval hill-town, Velez Rubio was abandoned in the 15th Century and its population was moved eastwards, closer to fields and sources of water. Outstanding among its many churches and convent buildings is the splendid baroque church of La Encarnacion, the province’s biggest church. Built in the 18th Century its magnificent features include square towers, topped by octagonal belfries, on either side of a lavishly decorated doorway.

The town offers cafes, bars and restaurants. On Saturdays, since 1804, a market spreads over the four main streets of the town.

The region of Los Vélez in the South-East corner of Spain is an area of outstanding natural beauty retaining its traditions and customs. An ideal location for those wishing to experience the real Spain, enjoying its heritage, culture and architecture, but also having easy access to beaches and main tourist areas.
