The Finca El Cortijillo’s kitchen uses local,seasonal produce and ingredients for breakfast and dinner. We know the best local producers personally and enjoy excellent cooperation with them. The menu concept is based on fusion food, combining the best ingredients and ideas from both Finnish and Spanish cuisine.
Jaana and Juha
We are Jaana and Juha Tiitinen, a Finnish couple and long-term devotees of Spain’s Costa del Sol. We lived in Fuengirola for 14 years before moving to El Cortijillo. We have enjoyed trekking as a hobby for a long time, and this triggered the idea of moving to the mountains and setting up a hotel. We loved the Axarquia Mountains and its nearby villages with their wine and fruit orchards. After a long search, we finally found our dream house and renovated it into a small, homely hotel. We also live here with our dog Toby.
The most important thing for us is that you enjoy yourself and you are happy with your stay. We promise you a warm welcome, stunning views and a cosy and relaxed environment. Come and make yourself at home!
