Finca
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about".
Finca (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a Spanish term for estate. In English usage,[1] it refers to a piece of rural or agricultural land, typically with a cottage, farmhouse or estate building present, and often adjacent to a woodland or plantation.
Overview
Especially in tourism, the term has recently gained the colloquial meaning of a holiday home in a rural setting, situated on the Spanish mainland, the Balearics, and the Canary Islands,[2] and throughout the countries of Spanish-speaking Latin America.[3]
Fincas can typically look back on an extensive development history, and are often older than 300 years. In some regions, however, especially on the Balearics, new buildings are erected.[<span title="Script error: No such module "decodeEncode".">clarification needed]
