Property Description
A XVII century building that by its history -was House of the Colegiata of San Miguel de Ampudia-. With its stately porch entrance, it can be found enclave in the main square. It is considered one of the most emblematic buildings of the village. Originally it constituted the residence of the Abbot of the Colegiata of San Miguel de Ampudia. It was later acquired by Don Diego Garcia de Tovar, notary of Madrid and later of Ampudia and brother of the Chantre of the Colegiata Don Francisco Garcia de Tovar. At the end of the XVIII century it was passed on to his descendents from generation to generation to its present owners the Garcia Puertas brothers, whose father D. Jesus Garcia Simon during many years impeded its deterioration by maintaining it in an acceptable state of conservation. It is a two-story building with its facade and principle entrance on the main Plaza. Various patios and outhouses allow further access through a secondary street. The materials used in its construction, -even though there have been modifications over the years- are typical of the region. Stones in the socles and porch entrance. Large adobe walls, the arches, cornices, trellises and lintels are made of wood and stuck together with inferior plaster. The wrought iron gratings of the balconies are well as the lots of the interior doors of the house are original from the XVII century. The interior maintains its splendor, full of antiquities. The most spectacular being the 6-meter high vault at the entrance, and the small chapel where the Abbot fulfilled his religious offices. The original altar is in perfect condition as are the statues and other religious paraphernalia.

The straw donkey and sombrero image of Spain is now largely consigned to the bin - along with the paella and chips. In its place comes a sheaf of sparkling and evocative new images, as the visitor trend turns from sun-and-fun package holidays to individually tailored, more sophisticated themes.
Spain is a country on the move, a place of rapid change. High-speed railways have conquered the country’s mountainous terrain and many cities now have modern metro and tram networks, testifying to a vibrant and growing economy. But here, too, you will find a country where
time stands still, where Romancolumns rise into a clear blue sky, where crumbling Arab watchtowers maintain a lonely vigil over vast and magnificent landscapes, and city plazas where the baroque jostles with the modern to strike a uniquely Spanish harmony.
The historic cities of Spain are drenched in the atmosphere of the past, but well equipped to meet modern needs as well. The countryside is infinitely varied, from the ‘Green Spain’ of the rugged Atlantic coast to the parched plains of Castile and La Mancha. The open roads across endless open spaces produce a steady stream of surprises, with hidden villages and unexpected castles, shepherds roaming with their flocks and hilltop windmills appearing unexpectedly. It is a great country for touring.
Rich in history and natural beauty and with more than a fair share of sunshine Spain is a year-round, natural choice for many different kinds of holiday, from outdoor adventures to world-class museums and art galleries to an infinite variety of popular beaches and secluded coves. Not least the people are warm and welcoming - and they know how to party. The Spanish experience would be incomplete without joining in at least one of its famous fiestas.
Geography Spain shares the Iberian Peninsula with its smaller neighbor, Portugal, and is bordered to the northeast by the Pyrenees Mountains, which separate Spain from France. The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera), 193km (120 miles) southeast of Barcelona, and the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa are part of Spain, as are the tiny enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African mainland.
Mainland Spain is the second highest and most mountainous country in Europe, with an average height of 610m (2,000ft). The Pyrenees stretch roughly 400km (249 miles) from the Basque Country’s Atlantic coast, eastwards to the Mediterranean Sea. In places the peaks rise to over 1,524m (5,000ft), the highest point being 3,404m (11,169ft). The main physical feature of Spain is the vast central plateau, or Meseta, divided by several chains of sierras. The higher northern area includes Castile and León, the southern section comprises Castile/La Mancha and Extremadura. In the south, the high plains rise further at the Sierra Morena before falling abruptly at the great valley of The Guadalquivir.
Southeast of Granada is the Sierra Nevada, part of the Betic Cordillera, which runs parallel to the Mediterranean, rising to 3,478m (11,411ft) at the summit of Mulhacen, the highest point on the Spanish peninsula (the Pico del Teide on Tenerife in the Canaries is the highest peak in Spain at 3,718m (12,198ft). The Mediterranean coast extends 1,660km (1,030 miles) from the French frontier to the Straits of Gibraltar, the narrow strip of water linking the Mediterranean with the Atlantic and separating Spain from North Africa.
