Los Curriches gay-owned accommodation offers the perfect holiday in Andalucia, Spain. Exclusively for gay men.

Your hosts, Grant and Steve, have been together since 2001 and lived here in the Axarquia region of Andalucia since 2004. We adore the laid back Spanish lifestyle, the warmer climate, the wonderful countryside/mountains, and the terrific beaches here.

We love meeting our guests and telling them about this marvellous undiscovered area of southern Spain. You are assured of a very warm welcome and a fantastic holiday here at Los Curriches (as we hope these testimonials from our previous guests show!), and we look forward to seeing you here very soon!

In the summer, we often use the pool to cool off in so we are likely to see you then, but you are also welcome to come and have a chat or a drink with us anytime; or to join us to watch a movie! Bed & Breakfast and self catering guests are welcome to join us for a simple dinner in the evening (please see the Prices page for costs).

We are very keen hikers and also enjoy exploring the remote coastline using sea kayaks. It would be great to have you join us on our hikes in the local nature reserves and for canoe trips along the coastline.

“Curriches” doesn't mean anything in Spanish, but the property has been called Los Curriches for more than 400 years, therefore it took no time at all for us to decide to keep this name.

The property is an impressive 17th century lagar (a presshouse), originally for pressing grapes but more recently used for olives. It is set in 37,000 square metres (9 acres) of olive and almond groves surrounded by peaceful and picturesque countryside, with breathtaking mountain views:

For 2 years after moving here, we worked almost non-stop to rebuild Los Curriches into a beautiful home for ourselves. After another 2 years of (mostly!) hard work on the remainder of the property and creating the extensive gardens and terraces, we opened the 2 bedroom cottage for guests late in the summer of 2008. And in 2010, after another two winters restoring another of the houses and extending the gardens, the 1 bedroom cottage and guesthouse were completed.

We do all that we can to be eco-friendly at Los Curriches. We have put two sets of plumbing into the properties so that we can recycle the bath/shower water to re-use on our gardens. We use only recycled water to irrigate the gardens, never fresh water. The swimming pool is covered at night in order to reduce the overnight evaporation of water from the pool. And we use solar panels to provide the property with a very environmentally friendly supply of hot water for the majority of the year.
