FAQ

Do I need to RSVP on the website?

Yes, absolutely.  This will help us with the room allocation for each person/couple/family staying at the El Cortijo. Some units are larger with additional sofa beds and interconnecting etc, we want to get this right so everyone is happy.

What facilities does each room/self catering unit have?

Each room has its own kitchenette and cooking facilities with a separate bathroom.  Showering and bathing  towels are provided. For further info please see; https://elcortijodeloscaballos.com/rooms.

Is El Cortijo a catered accommodation?

No.  El Cortijo de los Caballos is self catering accommodation, treat it as your own airbnb.

We will provide basics in your fridge prior to your arrival, water, milk, soft drinks, snacks.  There are shops in the vicinity of the El Cortijo. 

Are there nearby shops and restaurants?

There are plenty of food establishments, bars, beaches/beach clubs, and shops & pharmacies nearby. We recommend looking at the villa website (https://elcortijodeloscaballos.com) over the next couple months so you can have a feel for the accommodation and the location.

If you have a look on google maps and the surrounding areas this should help you plan your trip; https://maps.app.goo.gl/w1mTg8DzTTKFLg2Z6.

What is the best way to get to and from the airport?

We highly recommend hiring a car if you are coming for longer than 3 days. This is so that on the days where we don’t have events planned or food/drink provided, you can go out and explore as you wish.

Having hired cars from Gibraltar airport and Malaga airport several times, we would recommend EUROPCAR or GOLDCAR as the most reliable hire car companies with the best rates. Of course there are local taxis, Uber & Bolt which are very reasonably priced, however car hire is also relatively inexpensive, especially if you want to have the freedom to explore nearby areas.

To put in perspective, a return taxi trip from either Malaga or Gibraltar airports to El Cotijo will cost around EUR250.  Car hire for 6 days is will cost around EUR200.  If you hire a car and want to take full insurance we suggest you use https://www.rentalcover.com/ as this is about 75% cheaper than getting cover through car hire companies.

There is plenty of parking on site so don’t worry about that if you are choosing to hire a car for your stay.

Is childcare provided?

Childcare will only be provided on the wedding day itself. We will have carefully selected nannies and babysitters for this day.  You will get to meet the nannies a couple of hours before the celebrations start and before leaving your little one with them.  Once the celebrations start your little ones will be in the villa next to the venue which is about 30 seconds walk away.

What is the dress code?

We have set a dress code for wedding day only, Mediterranean Chic.

No specific dress codes for movie night, just chilled. 

For the pool & paella party (29.09.24) we are hosting a white party.  Dress code - please wear at least one thing white!
