what to see and do

 

The nearest coast is around one and a quarter hours drive away at Aguilas, a typical Spanish resort and not over commercialised. Close by are numerous unspoilt beaches which are rarely crowded.

Closer to home, Orce and Huescar have natural spring swimming pools called Fuencaliente, where you can swim with fish!

Walkers & nature lovers should be in their element, with endless opportunities for exploring the wilderness.

 

 The historic city of Granada is around one & a half hours drive away. Well worth a visit for its elegant squares & winding streets, Granada also boasts the world famous Alhambra, with its wonderfully preserved palace and the beautiful gardens. Above the city is the ski resort of the Sierra Nevada.

Less than half an hour away from the house the dramatically sited castle at Velez Blanco has splendid views, and all the towns in the region offer street cafes and bars to sit and watch the world go by.

 The area around Fuente Nueva, Venta Micena & Orce is fast becoming a world famous site for archaeological discoveries. Each year students from around the world come to dig and to uncover the region's fascinating pre-history.

There is a Moorish castle in Orce and a palace close by houses remains from nearby archaeological digs.
