~ The Legend ~<br />
In 1536 in the dry and arid land of Southern Spain with little water and few crops a travelling bookseller-<br />
Juan Ciudad- on his way from the coast to Gaucin came across a young boy on the rough dirt track with<br />
no shoes. The boy had an aura about him and Juan Ciudad was moved to help him by giving him his own<br />
sandals so that he would not cut his feet, but the boy refused. Juan said to the child ‘Precious child and<br />
brother, if you do not choose to use my sandals I will take the books from my shoulders and carry you on<br />
them instead as God gave me these to use well and that is a priceless gift’. He carried the child for a while<br />
towards Gaucin and tired and thirsty on the way rested the boy under a tree. A spring of pure clear water<br />
miraculously came out of the ground. Then, the young child surprised Juan Ciudad by calling him by his<br />
name and suddenly disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The child bequeathed an image and a voice of<br />
himself that became a guide for Juan to follow in his journey of life. The child became known as Santo<br />
Niño and to this day the people of Gaucin annually celebrate this event at the Ermita founded in his<br />
memory.<br />
It is at this place, La Adefilla, that the Ermita De Santo Niño stands with a fountain dated 1536 from<br />
which walkers and animals to this day can still drink. The Ermita De Santo Niño is at the front gate of:<br />

~ Description and Access ~<br />
Description<br />
<strong>Hacienda</strong> <strong>Del</strong> <strong>Agua</strong> <strong>Divino</strong> sits in its own 38,400 square metres of rural and peaceful hills surrounded by Carob, Almond<br />
and Olive trees with stunning views over valleys to the mountainous national park of Monte Crestellina in the Serrania De<br />
Ronda and beyond to the Mediterranean sea, Gibraltar and the Rif mountains of Morocco.<br />
The rising sun appears over the mountains and bathes the property all day until it sets in the evening against the backdrop of<br />
the forests and hills leaving the hotel to cool in the early evening from the heat of the day.<br />
The hotel is beautifully located below the local village of Gaucin, the classic unspoilt Pueblo Blanco being one of the famed<br />
‘White Villages’ of Andalucía. The towns of Ronda, Estepona, Marbella, Jerez, Seville, Granada, Cordoba and many other<br />
places of cultural and historical interest are only a short excursion distance away.<br />

~ The Project ~<br />
Milan Varmuza, the project developer and architect, has for the past twelve years lived<br />
and worked in one of the most beautiful parts of Andalucía in Spain where he has<br />
enjoyed a career covering the design and construction of hotels, restaurants and high<br />
quality houses throughout the world.<br />
Milan Varmuza found that there was a lack of luxury rural hotels catering for guests<br />
seeking comfort, tranquillity and recreational country pursuits within the Andalucía<br />
and Malaga region of Spain.<br />
To this end he found and acquired the perfect location to put all his experiences and<br />
abilities into action to develop a 38 bedroom luxury rural, wellness and retreat hotel. A<br />
project for the site is now prepared and planning has been approved.<br />
Milan Varmuza is now seeking some serious investment to become part of this project.<br />
