You will be able to see our black horses and donkey who live in semi-freedom in a big enclosure next to the house. We also have a few hens, a cat or two and a very calm dog. Also, five little goats who live in an enclosure not far from the house.

 

The pond

300 m from the house there is a small artificial stone reservoir dated from 1869 which collects the rain water from a stream. Full of native fish and turtles, crabs and frogs, you can see some birds, and sometimes: ducks, herons, moorhens and cormorants.

The outhouse:

A few meters away from the house there is a big outhouse reconverted into a multipurpose room of more than 100 square meters. It is equipped with tables and chairs to do any kind of activity: from meals to courses, reunions or business meetings. There are bathrooms and it can be heated when needed. It is rented separately from the house.

The tubs:

Old-fashioned ceramic tanks used for the craftsmanship of wine. You can also see the grape press. Visits must be arranged in advance.

Forest:

Torrecabota is a farm with a large extension of forest and crops. You can go looking for mushrooms in autumn or to pick aromatic and medicinal plants; rosemary and thyme or savory among many others.

Exemplary trees:

Some of our trees are very old and monumental. So you can eat figs from a centennial fig tree, enjoy the shade of large oak or see a poplar with a more than 4 meters trunk.
