History and setting
The estate covers 120,000 m² in an area of Orba known as Racó Pastor, where an old corral once sheltered the animals of transhumant shepherds on their routes across the Marina. The land was traditionally used to breed purebred horses and was recently adapted for celebrations. It sits at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature, with a Mediterranean atmosphere.
