Riogordo
Village houses, cortijos and olive farms.
Solar panels · Riogordo
Riogordo, known for "El Paso", its living Passion play declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, is an inland village surrounded by dry-farmed olive groves at about 380 metres. Besides the village houses there are many cortijos and country homes, some owned by British residents, with pumping, irrigation or pool loads. In homes like these, solar cuts your bills and makes you more independent from power cuts.
In the village we check the tiled roof, its condition and orientation. On cortijos and farms we look at roof or ground mounting and the farm's daytime loads. If you use power at night or the supply cuts out, we consider a battery with backup output.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
