Experience the
Taste of Andalusia
Food at the Cortijo – À la Corazón
Breakfast – Your Morning Ritual
From 9:00 to 10:30, the day begins with the smell of fresh coffee, crusty bread, and sizzling bacon.
Our breakfast brings a taste of Andalusia straight to your table – slow and easy, just as it should be. Fresh bread and rolls, butter, homemade jams, a lovely selection of cheese and charcuterie, and everything you need for a proper tostada andaluza – olive oil, salt, and freshly grated tomato. Coffee or tea and freshly squeezed orange juice go without saying. Each day, we add something sweet, a yoghurt treat, or seasonal fruit from nearby.
No buffet, no queues, no stress – just sit back and enjoy. And then comes the only real decision of the morning: fancy an egg – scrambled, fried, or boiled? With or without bacon?
Evenings at the Cortijo
This is where the magic happens – when it happens. Some evenings, there’s a buzz in the air, and before you know it, we’re slicing Ibérico, uncorking a local red, and the table fills up as if by itself.
When the mood is right, we love to bring something special to the table. Perhaps a generous shared platter loaded with hand-cut cured meats, aged cheeses, and Almería’s famous tomato salad. Or a proper multi-course Andalusian dining experience, built around the glorious Ibérico pork, lamb, goat, or fish this region is so famous for. Sometimes it’s tapas at the bar – the bar where we’ll probably bump into each other for a sundowner anyway.
No fixed nights, no set menu, no obligations. We’ll let you know what we’re planning – and if there’s enough animo, it’s on. Think of it as a dinner invitation from your hosts, not a hotel service.
We’re a proudly meat-forward kitchen – Ibérico ham, secreto, presa, pluma and fresh Mediterranean fish are the stars of our table. More on what that means for dietary needs further below.
Wine, Sherry & Good Company
Yvonne is our in-house sommelière, and she rather enjoys sharing her love for Spanish wines. Every now and then, especially in the cooler months, we host a relaxed wine tasting or sherry evening with a few well-chosen bottles and some tasty bites to go with them. In summer, it might be more of a cocktail kind of evening.
No schedule, no sign-up sheets. If it’s happening, you’ll know. We’ll tell you over breakfast, or you’ll spot the preparations at the bar.
Good to know
Bringing your own food and drinks to the B&B is not permitted. If you prefer to cook at your own pace, our Beach Apartments in Mojácar Playa are just the thing.
A Word About Our Kitchen
Our cooking is rooted in the traditions of Andalusian cuisine – and that means Ibérico pork takes centre stage, alongside fish straight from the Mediterranean and slow-cooked lamb or goat. This is honest food, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We prepare one menu for everyone, with love and from scratch – but we’re a tiny team, not a restaurant with a brigade. That means we’re unfortunately not able to accommodate individual dietary requirements, allergies, or intolerances beyond the basics.
Speaking of basics: gluten-free bread and plant-based milk are always available at breakfast – just let us know.
A note on summer: In July and August, our guests are mostly Spanish – and as you may know, the Spanish and Northern Europeans have rather different ideas about when dinner should happen. Finding a time that works for everyone is near impossible, so during the peak summer months, our kitchen mostly takes a siesta too. That said, a shared platter is always an option if you let us know in the morning.
