He is not alone to appreciate those vistas, as they are one of the main attractions of life in La Mairena. The natural surroundings—just 5% of the mountain can be built on—with nature close to hand and beautiful trekking and hiking routes towards the village of Ojen are another, but it should not be thought the area is isolated.
