Introduction to our accomodation. Finca Santa Marta is the Extremadura version of a 'cortijo', composed of two country farms surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and orchards, which until only 15 years ago produced top quality olive oil and wine called 'pitarra'.

The two farms, Santa Marta and Santa Teresa (left), are now partially converted into a country inn. Breakfast and dinner are served in the ancient olive oil mill with its 19th century hand-driven olive press - see photos in the FSM photo archive.
