El Chirimoyo, Jimena de la Frontera

El Chirimoyo offers friendly and relaxed bed and breakfast accommodation in a beautiful garden apartment in the centre of the traditional white village of Jimena de la Frontera in the foothills of the Sierra Bermejas mountain range in southern Spain. Situated on the edge of the Alcornocales Natural Park, guests can explore the surrounding cork oak forests, the valley of the Hozgarganta river or venture into the park itself which is famous for its flora and fauna.

El Chirimoyo is a beautiful 500 year old house on a charming narrow street. Although close to all local amentities, it is secluded and private within it’s walled garden. Yet Jimena is only 30 minutes drive from the beaches of the Costa del Sol, the airport, and duty free shopping at Gibraltar. Puerto Banus and Marbella are less than an hour away and the area is packed with internationally recognised golf courses from Valderama Golf Club at Sotogrande, famous for hosting the Ryder Cup, to the newly opened Valle Romana course at Estepona sponsored by Seve Ballesteros. For those who want to sample traditional Spanish life, Jimena is only 1 hour from the historic town of Ronda and the coastal town of Tarifa famous for its windy, white Atlantic beaches.
