Overview

La Joya is situated in the traditional white-washed Moorish village of Albunuelas, overlooking the dramatic Rio Santo gorge. In this lovingly restored house you will find traditional beam and rush ceilings, local hand-made tiles and Moorish arches combined with discreet comforts such as limitless hot water and underfloor heating in winter. The house has a roof terrace with breathtaking views of the Rio Santo gorge and the Sierra de Albunuelas, plus free use of our private garden where, if you wish, you can have a BBQ, a paddling pool for children, or alternatively just sit among glossy leaved orange trees and drink in the vistas of the distant mountains.

The historic city of Granada (with its vibrant Moroccan quarter and the attractions of the Alhambra and the Generalife) are a 30 minute drive. The Lecrin Valley is adjacent to the Alpujarras (the highest villages in Spain -made famous by Chris Stewart's book 'Driving Over Lemons'). The spa town of Lanjarron is a short drive and higher Alpujarran villages such as Pampaneira, Capileira and Bubion are accessible within an hour.

The lower barrio of Albu'uelas itself, has a bar/restaurant of some character and the local bread van and fish hawkers visit each morning to sell their wares in the street just below the church. The upper barrio, a short walk away, has several shops, a bank, bars and restaurants and a weekly market on Thursday mornings. There are several nice swimming pool/restaurants in nearby villages. Guided walks are available from local English residents which start from the village and can take in items of historical interest (Moorish, Roman, Iberian) as well as the flora and fauna of the valley. Ideal for relaxation and perfect for walkers or bird watchers. The epic GR7 walk from Algeciras to Istanbul passes the door and one of the GR7 markers can be seen upon the wall. The lush valley just beyond the house is rich with oranges, almonds, grapes, figs, pomegranates, persimmons, and prickly pears. In the spring the air is perfumed with orange and almond blossom. The higher slopes of the gorge abound with olives and the scent of wild herbs. In the evenings one can sit upon the roof terrace and watch the eagles soaring as the sun sets over the gorge. The Moors christened this place the Valley of Joy.
