A finca would have originally been a small dwelling used by farm workers tend the land and to harvest the crops. These properties are normally in need of some restoration although a lot of this is superficial. In a lot of cases they will have a kitchen and bathroom that may be accessible from the patio and not the house. A Cortijo is similar in characteristics but normally on a grander scale and along the lines of we would know as a farmhouse. With both of these types of property it is normal to expect some land. Because of the similarities in these types of properties we have grouped them together as Fincas.
