Finca

In English usage, a finca (Spanish for 'estate'; [ˈfiŋka])^[1] 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

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.^[clarification needed]
