| Albunuelas is situated on the edge of its own dramatic gorge in the beautiful Lecrin Valley midway between the historic city of Granada (with its vibrant Moroccan quarter and the historic attractions of the Alhambra and the Generalife) and the Costa Tropical. Both are accessible within 30 minutes. Lanjaron, gateway to the mountainous Alpujarras (the highest villages in Spain - made famous by Chris Stewart's book 'Driving over Lemons') can be reached in about 20 minutes. In winter, skiing is available 45 minutes away at the Sierra Nevada ski resort. The stunningly beautiful Lecrin Valley is deal for relaxation and perfect for walkers, fishermen, bird watchers & artists. The epic GR7 walk from Gibraltar 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. The Moors christened this place the Valley of Joy. For more info see our new site www.spanishholidaycottages.com |
