Friends of ours have recently started to rent out their two Yurts. They are tastefully and luxuriously furnished and are perfect for the emerging Glamping trend. We felt very honoured the be "test sleepers" in one of the Yurts amidst the beautiful nature of Algarrobo. A Yurt has for centuries been the home of nomadic Mongolian people. It has a beautiful wooden frame of poles made of chestnut covered with layers of felt made of sheeps wool and canvas so they look very attractive and are super strong. The Yurts of our friends Erna and Rolf are adapted to the Spanish environment by professional Yurt builders Ratna and Rob Mathews from the Alpujarras which means that they are cool in the summer and warm in the winter months .
Staying in a Yurt is a romantic experience and we had perfect weather for our stay. The sky was beautifully lit in the evening which we could see and enjoy from our bed as the roof of the Yurt can be opened revealing the starry sky which felt so close.
After spending a night in a Yurt for the first time we understand the true meaning of "Glamping" (glamorous luxury camping). Each Yurt has its own lit terrace with seats and parasols, a luxury sanitary unit, a fully equipped Spanish cooking tent and a swimming pool. The Yurts can accomodate up to two people.
Both yurts are in a perfect location for interesting day trips to Nerja, Frigiliana, Comares, Competa, Malaga, Seville, the Alpujarras and Granada, lake Vinuela and several beattiful nature reserves such as the Sierra Tejeda .

Buy your dream house without worries
We have no shop window or many properties for sale on this website because we believe in personal attention & tailor-made offers; therefore we always work on a specific request basis. From experience we know that buying a home in Spain is different than in your own country, therefore we make every effort to make it run as smoothly as possible.

Reviews from Our customers
We daily work with great pleasure on fulfilling the needs of our customers. During the years we have been able to help many people find their dream house here on the Costa del Sol. We are quite proud of this and have asked them to share their experiences with you as who can better explain how Team Second Home Andalusia works than our customers themselves?
Worry-free sale of our cortijo in Sedella!
We were impressed with the approach adopted by Caroline and Malcolm of Second Home Andalusia for marketing our property and their approach resulted in a quick almost hassle-free overall sales experience. By getting to know their buyers and sellers’ requirements and objectives, this resulted in less wasted time and unnecessary viewings. They do their research first!
A GOOD YEAR!
Admittedly borrowed from the great film with Russel Crowe, highly recommended for anyone who has or is looking for a home abroad. What a super year 2024 is! If you've been dreaming of a house in Spain since childhood and in 2024 you get to put your signature to the purchase contract of a house in Vélez-Málaga, then you can talk about a good year.
A dream can come true
A few years ago, we came up with the idea of buying a house in Spain. We searched on the internet and by chance came across the site of Second Home Andalusia where we read a lot of information and good reviews. We already knew a few cities in Andalusia, but we had not yet visited the area east of Málaga and were very curious about it. So we booked a cottage in La Axarquía, in Canillas de Aceituno which we found to be so cosy and we thought how nice it would be if we could also find such a place for ourselves.
Casa Limonero, our jewel in the Axarquía
For some time, we had been dreaming of our own place abroad. During a family holiday in Andalusia in autumn 2021, we warmed to Spain. The relaxed atmosphere, the climate, the delicious food appealed to us. Our eye fell on the Axarquía region because of its tranquillity, beautiful nature, friendly people and great weather. Upon returning home, we looked online at the possibilities and ended up at Second Home Andalusia. This seemed almost too good to be true; people who could arrange the whole process from search to purchase and then maintenance and rental for us from their own experience. We were immediately excited.
