Why they chose this property
An outstanding location with everything you need within easy reach.
Our search for the ideal location to build Monte Calicos took us many years after deciding upon the general area of Moncarapacho, a charming throwback in time. This area is not a typically touristic destination at all, it is primarily a farming area that happens to have been stumbled upon by those of us who have been lucky enough to stumble in the right direction. A small town with a couple of banks, small supermarkets, chemist, five or six good local restaurants and even a local taxi service with a fixed rate.
