Autumn in the mountains: an enchanting season at Casa La Quinta 🍂🏡
Autumn in the mountains: an enchanting season at Casa La Quinta 🍂🏡
Autumn in Andalusia has something magical. The summer heat gives way to a soft, warm breeze, nature takes on a golden glow, and tranquility returns to the villages and hiking trails. For us, it's one of the most beautiful times of the year – a season where we welcome our guests to a completely different atmosphere than the bustling summer months.
If you ask us what makes autumn in the mountains so special, we'd say: the colors, the scents, and the feeling of total relaxation. Here are a few reasons why this time of year is perfect for discovering Andalusia.
1. Nature at its finest 🍁
When autumn arrives, the mountains surrounding Casa La Quinta transform into a picturesque scene. The olive groves, vineyards, and almond trees take on warm hues, and the landscape seems bathed in gold. 🚶♂️ What we love to do in autumn:
Take a long morning walk in El Torcal de Antequera, where the mist hangs mysteriously between the rocks in the morning.
Explore the nearby nature parks, such as Montes de Málaga, where the autumn colours truly come alive.
Simply sit on our terrace with a cup of coffee, while the soft autumn sun paints the mountains a golden yellow.
2. Perfect temperatures for exploring 🌞
While summer can be too hot for long hikes, autumn is wonderfully mild. Daytime temperatures fluctuate between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius – perfect for exploring without overheating.
🌿 Our favourite autumn adventures:
Visit the Alhambra in Granada without the summer crowds and in a pleasant temperature.
Stroll through the white villages like Frigiliana or Ronda, which feel even more picturesque in autumn. Taste the first olives of the season, straight from local producers.
3. Autumn means culinary indulgence 🍷🍂
If there's one season when Andalusian cuisine is at its best, it's autumn. This is the time when the first new olive oil is pressed, the vineyards celebrate their grape harvest, and the market stalls are overflowing with fresh figs, chestnuts, and mushrooms.
🍽️ What we love to eat this time of year:
Setas a la plancha – grilled wild mushrooms with garlic and olive oil.
Cordero al horno – slow-roasted lamb, perfect for crisp autumn evenings.
Tostadas with local fig jam and goat cheese – a delicious breakfast that perfectly suits the season.
4. The evenings are cozy and atmospheric ✨
Autumn in the mountains also means long, cozy evenings. After a day full of adventure, there's nothing better than sitting together by the fire, sipping a glass of local wine, and enjoying the starry sky sparkling in the clear autumn air.
🔥 How we spend our evenings:
A good book and a blanket on our terrace.
A glass of red wine by candlelight.
Sometimes, just quietly enjoying the peace and sounds of nature.
