LLIBER, JALON, Costa Blanca  - Guide Price €480,000

Finca Barranco is a traditional country finca surrounded by vineyards and the dry river bed from which it took its name. The 200 year old original part of the house lay alongside an old Moorish mule path which ran through the Bernia mountains to the Jalon valley floor. The path is still visible.
