"Comida casera" (home cooking) at Cortijo Estela is at the heart of the Almerian lifestyle. With its abundance and diversity of fresh regional vegetables, fruits, seafood, meats (fresh and cured), poultry and local wines, olive oils and almonds – it is the true Mediterranean diet – suited to every taste, and a vegetarian’s delight.

Cortijo Estela is a restored Moorish farmhouse. The farmers who built it originally lived off the land and their animals on the property. Guests can enjoy an authentic culinary and cultural experience by eating like locals at home with meals prepared for them by a local farmer’s wife, delivered to Cortijo Estela. Fruits and vegetables are freshly sourced locally from farms (not supermarkets). Meat and poultry are sourced similarly, freshly slaughtered (under regional authority). Seafood is fresh from the local Mediterranean fishing port of Adra 5km away.

This special service adds great flexibility to your leisure at Cortijo Estela. Reasonably priced and considerably less expensive than restaurants; if you prefer to stay at home and not cook, it avoids the need to drive to a local restaurant and be concerned about alcohol consumption. Meals can be ready at predetermined times with 48hr notice to suit your day’s activities.
