The Journey Begins

Summer 2021

 

The journey began when we set off for a Road Trip around Spain. Camping gear and paddle board taking up much of the space in the boot of the car we hoped to explore new places as well as return to some old favourites. We also had an idea that it might be fun to look at a few properties on our travels. Prior to our trip we had been in touch with Villas and Fincas of Casares as a property had popped into our inbox near Tarifa, a place we loved going to some 30 years ago when we lived in Seville.

By the time we reached Andalucia there were another 3 properties we thought we’d take a look at and one more that our son Rory thought might have a nice view. This turned out to not only have an amazing view, but the feel of the place was incredibly special. We stayed overnight in the village in an Airbnb, it was August and extremely hot and a lot to think about. The next day we went back for a second visit.  Prior to leaving we made an offer and proceeded on our journey north via Salamanca.

Over a week later, whilst camping at the beach in Asturias we heard our offer had been accepted. Stunned silence, what had we done? The process of purchasing the property began and the week before Xmas we became the owners of Finca El Encanto.
