Finca Santa Marta
We stay at the wonderful Finca Santa Marta, a granite-built olive oil mill converted into a country inn, situated in the countryside south of Trujillo. We have the run of its attractive and wildlife-rich grounds too.
In 1984, the Finca hosted a party of 58 from the Artists for Nature Foundation. They painted and sketched the wildlife and landscape (sometimes people and buildings too) in the area, or at the finca itself, all captured in a beautiful book. More about the book here, including a selection of artwork.
