Area

Out and about

The perfect location to discover the ‘white villages’ of La Alpujarra, Granada and the beaches of the Costa Tropical

Walks from the house

Whether it’s a gentle stroll or something more challenging, you can head off straight from the gate.

The ‘route of the 1000-year olive trees’, a 3-hour hike to Lanjarón and a walk along the Rio Guadalfeo are all favourites. Maps (and hats!) are provided.

Órgiva

Órgiva is a 20-minute walk and has many bars and shops, including fishmongers, butchers and organic food shops.

Pick up produce at Thursday’s market or enjoy a meal at the several good eateries. We offer recommendations for the best tapa and food in town.

The white villages

Stunning views, a chocolate factory, hikes, jamón and home-spun rugs – it’s a short drive (or bus ride) to the white villages of Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira.

Venture further to Trevélez and the ‘Gerald Brenan’ village of Yegen. A joyous journey whichever route you take.

Horse riding, skiing, yoga and more

We’ll help arrange activities like horse riding, yoga, mountain hikes, skiing and even cheesemaking! The Sierra Nevada ski station is under 1.5 hour’s drive away with horse riding in nearby Lanjarón.

Just let us know and we’ll get onto it.

Lanjarón

The town, famous for its mineral water, is a 12-minute drive by car (or bus). Visit the renowned mineral water spa, ruins of a Moorish castle – plus the water and honey museums.

Fill up at one of the many fountains along the streets and in plazas.

Beaches

In little over 30 minutes you could be swimming in the Mediterranean Sea at Salobreña with its seafood restaurants.

La Herradura, Almuñécar (castle, aqueduct and Phoenician fish salting factory) and Nerja (famous for its caves) are a little further on.

Granada

The magical city of Granada, famous for the Alhambra Palace, is a must for any holiday. Easy to get to by bus or car (50 minutes), we can share our favourite places to visit, eat and drink.

Enjoy a pre-visit film about The Alhambra so you get more out of your visit.

Málaga, Córdoba and more

Head further afield to Córdoba and the magnificent Mezquita or Málaga for the castle of Gibralfaro, the Alcazaba and Picasso museum.

Venture east to Almería, the Tabernas Desert and Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park – a two hour drive away.
