Finca Arboleda is situated 5 minutes drive from Vera near Mojacar in Costa Almeria Spain and is set in 5000 sq metres, about 1.25 acres.
Swimming pool, the beautiful private 10 x 5 metre Pebbletec  pool is only shared between people staying in the villa and the apartment. It has a salt purifying system so the chlorine is hardly noticeable and the salt content is only the same as a human tear.
The garden is set on three levels. Our house, the apartment and the pool are on the top level, the middle level is planted with olives and the villa is on the lower level with more trees.
Overall the garden is planted with over 100 mature trees including 52 olives from which we press our own extra virgin oil that you welcome to try and we offer for sale. There are 25 citrus trees with Oranges, Mandarins, Satsumas and Lemons. We also have Apricots, Figs, Pomegranates, Mulberries, Plums, Pears and Vines. Please help yourselves to any fruit that is in season.
Cycling. The area is great to explore by bike and we have 2 mountain bikes that you may use.
Olive Oil, we pick our olives in November and take the olives to a press at Lubrin. In 2011 we picked 760 Kilos of olives and from  them we got 195 Litres of Extra Virgin Olive Oil that we invite Guests to sample and hopefully buy. We are organic and never spray our trees. Why not come and stay and help pick the olives? ..  It's good fun! Pictures from 2011 here
Stig, is our friendly Lurcher, a stray who came to stay. He is a cross between a Greyhound and a Belgian Shepherd, has the most wonderful temperament and is loved by most people, read the guest book!
Chickens, we have 15 friendly Hens, 5 Rhode island reds, 8 black ones and 2 white leghorns who produce lovely free range eggs, a great breakfast when cooked in our olive oil.

We are Mick, English and Pirkko, Swedish and we have lived at Finca Arboleda since January 2004. We decided on a lifestyle change in the sunshine and haven’t regretted a moment of it. We do some part time office work but mainly it’s about making sure everything is perfect for our guests to enjoy the most important weeks of their year. We are around if you need us but are pretty good at being invisible if you don’t, we’ve had a few years to perfect this!
