Hi all ππ»
Today I want to share with you all a selection of photographs I took when I moved into a very old Finca in the countryside of Spain. Located about 15 minutes drive away from the small whitewashed town of Sedella tucked away in the mountains.
Iβm following the time stamps to show you around this Finca.All photos are taken with my (late) #Canon eos 550D with 18 - 135 mm lens in 29 September 2016.
Let me show you around the grounds and the ancient treesβ¦
After moving in 20 September I walked into the back closed garden⦠in the early evening.
Up the stairs to have a look out at the roof terrace and I saw this sunset π
over the layered mountainsβ¦
Over the next days I tried to unpack and settle in.
All photos that follow are from 29 September.
Here we see the front garden and grounds where I parked my Classic Mini ππ₯°π₯°ππ»
Next to the mini we find an ancient terrace under some very old Carob trees. The owner told me they were protected by law as 200+ years old.
Here we see a wind chime in one of the Carob trees.
Standing under these trees on the old terrace, we look back towards the Finca and see the first (thumbnail) photo.
Another view of the Carob trees and the Finca.
Slowly the sun was settingβ¦ Iβm walking around the grounds.
A different view of the old terrace again.
And the plant pots on the entrance of it.
Walking past the Fincaβs tall wallβ¦ to the back.
Details above us from the wall.
Looking in the distance⦠with focussing on the trees.
A view into the sun with silhouettes on the foreground.
Looking the same way ππ we see here many layers of mountains.
Focussing on the house in the distance.
And one more with a different focus. I tried to have the sun here behind the tree.
Zooming out.
The façade on the front, bottom part. The part I rented.
Old doors.
Details⦠1838.
The grounds around the Finca.
And a last view on the roof terrace just before sunset.
This sunset I show you another time, so stay tuned ππ€π

This house is called Finca? I love this kind of architecture, a dream of mine to live in.
So far I've only seen it in the movies, the 80s movies.
It was stunning π€©

Trying to catch up here nowβ¦
Hope it was a great meeting πJust back home @dandays π I didnβt make it in time.
The photos are from 2016 and the post was ready to post all day in draft π
I see I lost some ground in the stats hehehe π€ need to catch up a bit π€π»π€π»
What a wonderful place.....you can hear the silence, almost taste the local wines cheeses and bread,
Loved that little place, tucked in history.
Have an amazing Sunday!Thanks @grindle π I sure lived in some wonderful placesβ¦ the stories I can tell.
π
The place looks so peaceful and beautiful to live.
Damn it was amazing view from terrace, are you still living in that place or moved?
Tho 200+ years old trees, that's insane. I'm living around mountain but never seen this much old stuff yet also sunset scenes are perfect!
Thanks for sharing with us
Happy weekend to you!
Iβm not living there anymore for a while now. I move around a lot hahaha π€£
I had an offer I couldnβt refuse, I could move to another villa a bit further away in the mountains, closer to the see, where I could live rent free for a while, in exchange I would paint murals on the walls of the villa. π¨π¨π¨ so I moved.Thank you so much @idksamad78699 πππ» It is a beautiful spot in this world and indeed very peaceful.
The building the trees around even the terrace underneath the trees was so old, protected too. So you couldnβt change anything about it.
I love places like this.
Happy to share, thank s so much for your visit. Have a wonderful weekend too ππ»πβοΈ
My pleasure.. Thanks for telling me the back story.
No one should ever refuse a good offer. In this expensive era living rent is everyone dreamt for!
Will look forward to see your murals art.
I thought the same, some offers are just not to be refused.
Most of those murals I posted already here, but others still to come. Thank you kindly π
Enjoy your SundayThanks! You are welcome @idksamad78699 π
That's really wonderful place to enjoy the weekend. I like your ancient mini car. I'm sure it will great fun to drive in this car. The old styled door with hanging lock capture my attention because we have such window at our village home.
I loved driving my mini and all the adventures we had. I owned her for 12 yearsβ¦ yes, I relate to the car as βherβ hihihi ππThank you @crazywrites6 πππ» It was a great place to live, probably better for weekends too.
Thatβs great to hear you have a window like that in your village home. Here you see them everywhere in the campo, countryside.
Have a wonderful day today ππ»βοΈ
What a wonderful place! I love how the sunlight touches everything there. Nice classic mini btw! π
It sure was a wonderful place, surrounded by true nature. Up in the mountains, stunning views.
Luckily I still have the photographs, as I moved further of course.
It was a beautiful moment as it turned all golden from the sun.
Have a wonderful Sunday ππ»π Thank you @sigota my 4th classic mini I owned. Sold her last December, as I couldnβt drive anymore due to back problems. I had her 12 years.
Sorry to hear about you back problems. I hope you're doing fine now.
Wow, 4th classic mini you owned for 12 years! You must have a lot of memories of adventures with it.
Have a wonderful day!
So I canβt drive classic cars without power steering or more modern technologies.Thank you so much @sigota π I have to live with it, and be careful what I do. It wonβt get better.
I sure had adventures with my last classic mini. I even emigrated from the Netherlands to Spain with her⦠7 years ago, driving 5 days through snow and ice in the beginning of January⦠2800 something Km.
Sleeping behind the wheel, in the back of gas stations hahaha finding the windows frozen on the inside for the first days. I will write this story down one dayβ¦ as I have it documented with photos ππ»ππ»ππ
Thanks have a wonderful day too ππ»βοΈ
The photos are beautiful, the light of that sunset transmits warmth to me.
I love that classic Mini! Do you still have it?
It was a beautiful light that day, and suddenly all turned golden warm.
My favourite car. Sadly I had to sell it last December. After I had this little classic mini for almost 12 years. It was my 4th classic mini.
But my back problems forced me to sell, I couldnβt drive her anymore. It stood the last 2 years in a storageβ¦ as I tried to keep her. But nopeβ¦ she went to a good new home π₯°ππ»
Have a wonderful weekend ππ»βοΈπΉThank you so much @palomap3 πππ»
Oh, I'm so sorry. Watch your back, health is the most important thing.
I'm glad you know your Mini is well looked after, it's a little consolation.
Happy Sunday, dear. π€
After so long of back problems, I know I canβt drive a car anymore that old, without modern technologies like power steeringβ¦ so we move on π€
Thank you kindly, happy Sunday dear π€Thank you @palomap3 π I knowβ¦ more important than my dream car even.
Wow!!!... "Adriatica de Seguros (1838)" has been in existence for almost 200 years!.... I didn't know that!... That insurance company has had branches here in Venezuela for many years, and I remember it because I had an uncle working in their branch in Carcas in the 70's!.... That beautiful plaque on that old door is a marvel!.... Beautiful photos and beautiful place!.... Thanks for sharing @littlebee4 friend!...
PS: I love that photo of the Mino Cord!... A beauty!...
Thatβs cool that you know the company, and I show you here a plaque from it from 1838 in Spain π€©π
I donβt know it. How little things can remind us of thingsβ¦ interesting an uncle worked for them.
Thank you so much, it was a wonderful place, a shame I didnβt live a long time there. It was very peaceful. Iβm glad I could share that with you dear @jlinaresp π makes me happy!
Thank you so much π much appreciated!
Have a wonderful Saturday further πβοΈ

These are from 2016. I didnβt stay long in the Finca and moved on to another house in the mountains where I stayed rent free for a whileβ¦ in return I painted murals on the walls and ceilings π¨π¨π¨You are welcome @incublus π happy to share my photos.
Oh you must have very good drawing skills or they wouldn't accept such a thing. I am very bad at it, so I respect anyone who can draw beautiful things π.
There are some art posts between my other posts. Even some of the murals I painted. Will post some more art works soon π
