One of our ambitions in establishing a garden at Cortijo Opazo was to be able to share it with others. In the first instance, we have been able to share it with guests staying in the self catering accommodation - La Corona and El Lujar. On Thursday August 9th we were able to broaden this audience by presenting an evening of live music, played in the garden. |
