General:
The Estacion de Benaojan is a small village down the hillside from Benaojan. It is on the edge of the Grazalema Natural Park. A beautiful, tranquil and traditional area of Spain.
Jerez, Seville and Malaga airports are all within a 90 minute drive. Granada Airport is a little further away, but there is a train link direct to the village from the airport.
In late July a fantastic traditional festival is held celebrating the arrival of the railway line to the village and there is an abundance of chorizo and a river of sangria flowing. The atmosphere is wonderful and everyone is welcome to join in the fun. The area is famous for its delicious chorizo sausage and this can be purchased in the village freshly made.

Village:
The property is one on a small development which is mainly residential. It was started in 2005 and was completed in March 2007. The village is very traditional and you will be living amongst the local Spanish residents, who are extremely friendly. Many of the locals drink in the bar at the railway station and eat at the restaurant “Bar Stop” nearby. There is a further excellent restaurant “El Muelle” as well as a tiny shop hidden away which appears to sell anything and everything!
The village is ideally suited to visit most of Andalucia. For walkers and bird watchers, the surrounding countryside is on your doorstep. The views are spectacular.
