Tambor del Llano Eco Lodge Natural Park

If you like the countryside, animals, well-preserved nature, dark skies to see the stars, and meet people from all over the world, in one of the most beautiful corners of Andalusia this is your place. You can help us develop our project, while you take the opportunity to learn Spanish, and get to know the white towns of Cádiz and Málaga. We are in one of the most beautiful cultural and natural landscapes in Spain. With an excellent climate. Our project is a challenge, we are trying to develop a KM0 ecological farm, which can be self-sufficient, and demonstrate that it is possible to live in a remote rural area, taking advantage of the natural and cultural resources of the territory, and leaving the smallest possible footprint. Respecting the environment, and creating a sustainable exploitation, compatible with the wild fauna and flora of the Natural Park where we are, while employing local people, so that Grazalema continues to be a living space. Help us make it possible. Come be part of our family, and if you like horse riding, come and listen to that drum…. The sunsets in our stellarium (ancient era), the paths that start from the farm itself, and that allow you to enter the wildest mountain ranges of the Grazalema Natural Park, if you like to walk and discover flora, fauna and a exceptional vegetation, you will be in the right place.

We are a family to which various professionals have gradually joined to offer the best services to our clients and hosts. We like nature, walking, horses, the stars, producing the food that we eat directly, meeting people from all over the world. We like to be hosts, and share this beautiful corner in which we have been fortunate to settle with all of you. We are a small enthusiastic team that is determined to move the project forward. Raul, Nano and Ernesto have joined our family to tend the horses, the flock of sheep, the orchard, and our visitors. Beli and Ani, they take care that everything is clean and tidy, Ana Belén and Isa cook and serve an exceptional homemade meal, using whenever we can products from the farm itself, or nearby premises, Carmen helps us organize the whole team , and takes care of the reception and administration. You will help us mainly to welcome visitors with hospitality, to dedicate time to them, to show them the farm, the facilities of the farm, the trails they can do, or the places they can visit, to discover the stars at night, since they feel at home. If you also want to help in the garden, water the plants, or feed the animals, we will be delighted that you help us, and teach you the experience that we have gradually acquired on the farm. You will be part of this family, as one more. Our place takes its name from the poem Luna Luna by Spanish poet García Lorca. The quartet goes: The horserider approached, beating the drum of the plains This is a beautiful literary figure to describe the sound made by galloping horses over the Grazalema plains, which karstic hollow rocks filled with caves. A sound you will often hear in our place!

El trabajo de finca fue muy entretenido y dinámico. Lo mejor de todo, estar ahí en contacto con la naturaleza, y aprovechar las actividades que hacen, rutas y ver las estrellas en el mirador es alucinante!!
Agradezco la confianza y libertad desde el día 1, y la buena onda y carisma de todo el personal!!
El tiempo se me termino haciendo poco, y fue una estancia muy linda y completa que sin duda repetiría, así que espero con ansias volver!!!

I really enjoyed my time at the Tambor! The team was welcoming and I definitely was able to practice my Spanish with everyone which I loved :) The location is a bit isolated but there are people coming and going that are willing to help you get where you need to go every so often! I’m glad I was able to experience life in Grazalema and live in such a beautiful place for a month
Thank you Alvaro, Carmen, Reme, Raul, Delia, Ana, Beli, and Kati!!
