Experience an exciting cookery holiday with Las Chimeneas in Mairena, Spain! Las Chimeneas has a deep knowledge of the area and are anxious to share their enthusiasm for this place which has been their home for so long. In this holiday, you are expected not only to learn local Spanish dishes but also to refresh your mind by doing activities that Las Chimeneas has provided for you during your stay here.
Las Chimeneas is a dramatic set of converted village houses which have been welcoming guests to the Alpujarra since 1998. There are nine lovely rooms, each with fabulous views across the hills to the sea in the far distance. Las Chimeneas provides very comfortable accommodation, with lots of antiques and books and hidden nooks and crannies, together with a delightful little restaurant that will surprise you by the quality of its freshly made seasonal produce.
It is not unusual for people to be stuck for words when they set eyes on the Alpujarras, all the more so when they first open their bedroom they see shutters in the morning to behold the sweeping views down the valleys just in front of Las Chimeneas.
In Casa las Chimeneas, each room is different, all independently air-conditioned, en-suite, comfortable beds, clean cotton sheets, and duvets for the winter. Over the years, Casa las Chimeneas has acquired an eclectic collection of ceramics, paintings, and antique furniture, which are now distributed across the bedrooms and living areas.
You know those times when you step inside a restaurant for the very first time, glance around at the décor, take a peek at the menu, and then realize - thrillingly - that you’ve just made a really, really good decision? People who stay here, report not infrequently that well, a place like this just has no natural right to be here, perched as it is in the middle of nowhere, clinging to the hillside, but inside all cozy warm tiles, soft lights, and serious food.
So make yourself at home in a dining room where the very best of Andalucian food is cooked by Soledad and Conchi, with whom Las Chimeneas has worked for so many years.
It has been a pleasure to exchange recipes handed down over the generations by Alpujarran families, as well as to introduce them to the flavors of North Africa in a delightful fusion of Spanish and Moroccan food. If you are interested, Las Chimeneas is happy to let guests see them at work, whether it is to learn the secrets of marinading your own olives or preparing the locally dried peppers and tomatoes for delicious soups.
This program includes all route notes and maps, a visit to the Mairena olive mill and the organic farm with a talk about local farming methods. Las Chimeneas also includes a visit to the ancient church of Jubar with a talk on the local history and the legacy of the Moors, as well as help with an organization of a range of other activities.
In this package, Las Chimeneas offers you a menu of possible walks and day trips from which you can choose each day. This gives you the option to make use of Las Chimeneas' detailed knowledge of the area and to choose exactly what you would like to do on a daily basis depending on the weather and your energies.
