Sustainable tourism at the finca
David and Emma care deeply about the long-term sustainability of the Alpujarras region and a week with them will give you a real insight into some of their ongoing projects on their organic finca. From its inception, the finca was always going to be a place where traditional farming methods would be used to enhance and improve the land, creating a restful haven where the fruits of the fields could be harvested for the hotel and restaurant. Central to this idea – and still as important today – has been learning from the locals and working in tune with nature and the seasons. With this uppermost in their minds, David and Emma have always been quick to seek – and accept – help and advice from local farmers who showed them how to irrigate, plough, prune and tend the land in the age-old traditions of the village.
;Organic farming
The finca has been granted official ‘organic’ status by the Soil Association, based on farming methods and a complete absence of herbicides and pesticides, thus recognising that all their produce is as fresh, good and natural as nature intended. A welcome by-product of these methods has been the deliberate setting aside of areas of uncultivated land – as all weeds, hedgerows and grasses now have to be controlled the old fashioned way, by hand – leading to an extraordinary variety of flowers and an abundance of insects and bird-life which flourishes in this magical place.

If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
The wildflowers in the Cabo de Gata (in Almería) were fantastic. We loved our stay at Las Chimeneas, David and Emma have created a wonderful haven with their very relaxed yet efficient approach, and of course we were extremely well fed!
[Inntravel note: These customers combined a tailored stay with a hire car at both Rodalquilar (featured on our Almería walking holidays) and Mairena, in the Alpujarras, with a stay in Granada at the end of their holiday]
Wonderful holiday. Walking was fantastic and the area was absolutely amazing. Food was top notch. The owners were very friendly and helpful as were the staff. No complaints here! The price for this holiday was excellent when you consider we had breakfast, dinner and car hire included.
The place is just wonderful, Emma and David were so helpful and friendly as well as everyone who was working there, they shared with us a lot of useful information. Dinners were excellent, delicious, fresh and above our expectations always.
We were able to take 3 of the recommended routes (the easy ones) because it is our first time, and we really enjoyed them, trees with lots of fruits as we walked, weather was just good. We did not make much use of the maps, maybe if the routes were clearly marked it would’ve been useful, as we are not used to reading physical maps and that was our challenge I guess.
