Cortes de la Frontera is an attractive town set into a powerful range of limestone hills which look out over a gently sloping valley of olive groves, pasture and oak trees.

http://www.oneoffplaces.co.uk/Europe/Spain/Aragon/El-Portal-de-Bergos.aspx
El Portal de Bergos is not a modern villa on the busy Spanish coast but a beautifully restored house with 3 ensuite bedrooms (property sleeps 8 in total) dating from the XIV century in the heart of a medieval hilltop village 50 miles from the Mediterranean. This is the other Spain: unspoilt mountainous countryside, beautiful rivers, enormous variety of flora and fauna, and few people! The Matarranya region is full of gems – medieval villages with gothic castles, hermitages set on hillsides overlooking a patchwork scenery of olives, almonds, vines and pine forests. Here the traditional fiestas, the folk music and dancing and the gastronomy are still preserved. This world is set against the spectacular backdrop of the National park of the Puertos de Beceite, where you will find rivers with waterfalls, eagles, ibex and wild orchids. This is the real Spain that few are privileged to get to know. Amazingly there is still availability throughout July and August. Prices for the week are €750 / £645. Nearest airport is Barcelona – fly from London Stansted on Easyjet – prices start at £140pp return.
