I’ve just been to one. Trasierra, set high in the Sierra Morena mountains north of Seville in southern Spain, is still seemingly as ancient and unchanged as the hills in which it hides. How lucky that it should have a host of guardian angels in the shape of the Scott family, who have turned it into the most special of hideaways.
