It is named after Casa Alarcón de Arriba, an XVIII century family house in the heart of the estate, which was originally destined for the cultivation of vineyards, olive groves and apple trees and for sheep breeding. Other unique spots include Casa Alarcón de Abajo, today's Stud Farm, Casa del Cura (Priest's House), where our sheep live, and Casa del Tuerto (One Eyed Man's House), a building of uncertain leyend restructured into a modern oil-mill.
