Visit Finca Solmark
Come and experience one of the most beautiful valleys in southern Spain, with miles of views from our terrace. I offer coffee and snacks and organise tasting of olive oil and our various honeys. You will hear the story of the organic farm, how I work to give life to both the village and lots of animals and much more. The farm tour then gives you the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about irrigation systems, the history of the area, tropical fruits, etc.
There is almost always some kind of fruit in season and we make sure we have samples straight from the tree.
On the farm there are more than 200 different types of trees, many of them fruit trees.
Sustainability and diversity at Finca Solmark
I grow six different types of avocado, lots of different types of citrus, almonds, olives, figs, carob, various stone fruits, etc. The cultivation is completely organic and I also try to create a rich bird life by building bird posts, constructing water ponds etc. The farm is also home to a number of found dogs and cats. They are happy to help guide visitors around the farm.
How long does the visit last?
The tour lasts about 2.5 hours and we always start just in time for coffee at 11am. This is an old Swedish tradition that we are keeping alive. If you prefer tea or hot chocolate, that’s fine too.
After the visit, we finish down in the old house where there is a small farm shop. Here you can buy my various honeys, olive oil, organic wines from nearby wineries and of course the fruit that is currently in season. Payment in the shop can be made by credit card (VISA, Mastercard) or cash in EUR.
How much does the visit cost?
The visit costs 20 euros for adults and 5 euros for children up to 15 years of age. I can accommodate a maximum of 30 people at the same time. Guiding is always done by Pelle and can be conducted in Swedish, English and Spanish. Payment and booking of the guided tour must be made in advance and paid for on the website by credit card. You will need decent shoes and, preferably, a bottle of water in summer. Visitors with reduced mobility can also participate. These participants should use the gate at the top of the hut and can then join the first part of the visit and can then enjoy the view and refreshments while other visitors take a tour.

How to get to Finca Solmark
The easiest way to find the finca is to enter the name in your GPS or googlemaps “Finca Solmark”. If you are coming from Malaga on the A-357, turn right before the village of Carratraca, where the road sign says “Camino de Las Minas” and then right again, down the road and up the other side. Follow the road uphill for 5 minutes until you reach the gate by the flagpole. Turn there and park next to the old house or along the road so that it is possible to pass with more vehicles. I’ll be waiting on the terrace with coffee ready. Are you coming with an electric car and want to charge it with our solar panels? Let us know and we will organise it on your arrival.
If you are organising trips, excursions, etc. and would like to visit the farm with a group, please call me to plan your visit. I can accommodate buses for about 20-22 people and there is plenty of parking for these (really big buses are a bit difficult to drive all the way up).
Once the day’s visit is over, many people like to eat nearby. There are a number of restaurants in the area and I can give you some tips on this. Please write in your booking if you want help booking a table somewhere and I will solve it.
If you have a larger group (20+) there is a local Food Truck that can sometimes be booked – write in the comment if this is something you are interested in.
The same if you are looking for accommodation near the farm – there are a number of options and I can also give you some tips on these. Unfortunately, I do not have the possibility to stay overnight on the farm.
