Casa de la Puerta Grande (house of the big door) is a simply restored 2 bedroom house in a 'white' village untouched by time - with roof terrace views of the spectacular Rio Santo gorge and Lecrin Valley.
Here, while donkeys still wend their way past the windows of the house each day, many of the contrasting and varied delights of Spain lie within easy reach. One can ski at Sierra Nevada in the morning, enjoy free Tapas at lunchtime in fascinating and historic Granada (this is the only region of Spain where tapas are often still free!), and laze by the waters of the Mediterranean in the afternoon. |

The picturesque Moorish village of Albuñuelas lies within easy reach of Granada and the coast and is a great base for walking, fishing and exploring the Sierra de Albuñuelas, the Alpujarras, and the lovely Lecrin Valley and Beznar lake area. The white houses of Albuñuelas cling to a hillside overlooking the spectacular Rio Santo gorge. Its narrow winding streets were built for donkey traffic rather than cars and donkeys still wend their way past the windows of the house each day on their way to work in the orange and olive groves. Parking nearby.
The lower barrio of Albuñuelas 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. |
