La Torrera Alta is more than 170 years old and has been carefully and lovingly restored, offering facilities for up to 12 persons, maintaining its Andalucian rustic charm whilst providing all modern comforts.

In front of the bar and dining room is the old threshing circle once used to grind corn by mule on the ground laid out with large stones (era). It now has a barbecue built beside it with a wood fired oven. In summer it is used as a terrace where our guests can take the opportunity to try our delicious widely known barbecued meat dishes. .
