There is a scene in the classic movie ‘The Gladiator’ where Maximus (Russell Crowe) approaches his Spanish Finca and gallops through a vision of burnished and ombre coloured fields lined with rows of cypress trees. I’m reminded of this emotive landscape when I sit for the first time in the cool breezy terrace at the La Finca Golf Resort’s impressive club house looking out over the arid burnt sienna colours of the farmland where way in the distance tree lined avenues sit against the horizon. In the low valley nestles the La Finca golf course, an oasis of lush verdant green.
