Vacation Rental Description
La Joya is designed with many thoughtful details including a beautifully restored beamed ceiling in the bedroom. The terrace has lovely views over the gorge (a perfect spot to relax with a glass of something and watch the sunset). There are also invisible comforts such as underfloor heating in winter & a good shower with plenty of hot water.
La Joya shares a garden amid the orange orchards - which can be used by tenants for picnics, BBQs, or splashing about in the paddling pool. Joya is situated close to Casa de la Lagartija, Casa de la Puerta Grande and Casa Idrisi & any of these 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.
About Granada Other
La Joya is located in the spectacularly situated village of Albuñuelas overlooking the Rio Santo gorge.
The streets of Albuñuelas are redolent with the Moorish history of the area. Among the flower draped houses in the narrow cobbled streets you will find the remnants of a 14th century Arab tower, communal stone wash houses & elaborately tiled fountains, as well as a 17th century Archbishop´s palace. The 'acequias', or water courses, which have made this valley such a verdant paradise are another legacy of the Moors.
Life changes slowly here. The cavernous ground floors of the houses are still used to stable the mules and their friends the dogs, along with rabbits, turkeys, chickens and pigs at various times. The open top floors or 'miradors' are festooned with drying chillies & tomatoes at the end of the summer & hams & chorizo sausages being cured after the matanza - the killing of pigs in January. These jostle for space with bougainvillea and jasmine tumbling over balustrades.
On summer evenings neighbours sit on their doorsteps chatting in the moonlight & old men keep alive the craft of esparto grass weaving to make baskets and panniers for the mules.
Two bakeries deliver quantities of fresh bread & cakes around the village each day & the fish vendor delivers the morning's catch of fish, fresh from the ocean.
There are several bars, which are traditional, local establishments. Bar Careto (on the left as you enter the main part of the village) and Tres Lindes (further into the upper barrio on the right hand corner of the first large square) also serve food, although Bar Careto may require some notice.
There are also many other restaurants serving excellent local food in the surrounding villages (see separate list on the Lecrin Valley pages).
The Upper Barrio of Albuñuelas (a ten minute walk from Casa de la Puerta Grande) has two small supermarkets: Coviran and Serprix which are both on the main road into the upper barrio. Both will deliver to your house.
There is also a pharmacy and local doctor near the school on the main street.
On the last Thursday morning in each month there is a full street market just below the Ayuntamiento square in the Upper Barrio which sells different types of olives, dried food, clothes, pots & pans etc. On other Thursdays the market is smaller.
