“Molino la Ratonera is a holiday retreat in the very heart of Andalucia.”
Wildlife
Set in a small river valley the land round the mill provides a rare environment in Andalucia. The olive is the main crop grown
commercially but in the less accessible land on the riverside there is beautiful mixed woodland containing holm oak, fig,
poplar, elm, willow, pomegranate, mastic tree and tree of heaven. A wide variety of wild flowers
are found during spring and early summer. The wild flowers in the slideshow were all found on one forty minute walk from the mill in the spring.
This dense vegetation provides a protected habitat for a wide variety of birds, reptiles, mammals and insects.
“The beautiful 5 metre high waterfall and the 16th century mill tower add to the magic of the site and make it an unforgettable location.”
