Finca

Finca ([ˈfiŋka]) 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.

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.
