About Cortijo Los Lobos

A rural Andalusian stay built around rescue horses, steady hospitality, and the kind of place that has grown slowly by hand.

June and Clive arrived with three children and a love of animals

They moved from the UK to Villanueva del Trabuco and, within two weeks, had taken in their first rescue horse. What began as a life change turned into a long-term project: restoring the property, caring for the herd, and slowly shaping a rural holiday stay that could support both the animals and the family.

Cortijo Los Lobos is not a resort built to a template. It is a place that has developed over more than two decades, with three self-catering cottages, a heated pool, gardens, paddocks, and direct access to the mountains around inland Malaga.

The herd came first

The horses are central to the story of this place. Many arrived in poor condition and were given a second life here. The guest experience still reflects that ethic: quiet, gentle, and based on the animals' welfare rather than performance.

Meet the horses

A real village, not a resort strip

The cortijo sits just outside Villanueva del Trabuco in inland Malaga, with walking routes, olive groves, and mountain views on the doorstep. That local setting is a big part of what guests remember.

Personal contact still matters

Guests book directly with the owners. No platform fees, no call centre, and no generic automation between enquiry and arrival. That keeps the stay personal and the information accurate.
