The Moorish village of Albuñuelas overlooks the Rio Santo gorge and is reputed to be the most beautiful village in the Lecrin Valley. Casa de la Lagartija is an upside-down house on three floors with the Master Bedroom, Living Room and Roof Terraces all having wonderful views over the orange orchards and the gorge.
The house has retained its Chestnut beams, colourful local tiles and copper sinks. The house also has its own orange orchard which can be used by tenants for picnics or splashing about in the paddling pool. In the right season the oranges (as many as you can eat) are free! La Lagartija is situated just around the corner from La Joya, Idrisi and Casa de la Puerta Grande and the properties can be rented out together to larger parties if desired. Car access is not possible to the house, but it is possible to park in the square nearby. |

Just south of Granada, beyond the "Sigh of the Moor" pass (so called because here the last Moorish king paused on his journey into exile, and sighed for the beautiful city he had lost) lies a valley so beautiful that it was named by the Moors 'the Valley of Joy' - El Valle de Lecrin.
Here in the traditional white village of Albuñuelas, overlooking the dramatic Rio Santo gorge, we have four lovingly restored houses for you to choose from. In these houses you will find the chestnut beams, copper sinks and handmade tiles of local tradition, combined with discreet comforts such as limitless hot water and underfloor heating in winter.
All of the houses have roof terraces and all have breathtaking views of the Rio Santo gorge and the Las Guejaras Sierras. In addition all of the houses have free use of our private garden where, if you wish, you can have a paddling pool for children, or alternatively just sit among glossy leaved orange trees and drink in the vistas of the distant mountains.
Albuñuelas is a unique place - the most beautiful of the villages in the Lecrin Valley, where the narrow winding streets are free from cars and troubled only by the occasional donkey winding its way back from a day's work in the orange groves. Although tranquil, this village has a restaurant, a choice of 4 tapas bars, 2 shops, a pharmacy & a Thursday morning market - and the breadman and the fishman honk their horns each morning as they wind their way through the streets selling freshly baked bread and cakes and the catch of the day straight from the Mediterranean Sea.
Epic walks start, literally, from the doorstep. The great GR7 route from Algeciras to Istanbul passes the door (the marker is on the wall of one of the houses) and there are plenty of other routes for walkers of all levels. Or, for those who prefer to ride, horse riding is available from the Upper Barrio of the village. Granada with its flamenco culture, historic buildings, lovely tapas bars and fascinating Moroccan souk is a 25 minute drive away. |
