Vacation Rental Description

The Moorish village of Albuñuelas overlooks the Rio Santo gorge and is reputed to be the most beautiful village in the Lecrin Valley. Casa de la Lagartija is an upside-down house on three floors with the Master Bedroom, Living Room and Roof Terraces all having wonderful views over the orange orchards and the gorge. The house has retained its Chestnut beams, colourful local tiles and copper sinks. The house also has its own orange orchard which can be used by tenants for picnics or splashing about in the paddling pool. In the right season the oranges (as many as you can eat) are free! La Lagartija is situated just around the corner from La Joya, Idrisi and Casa de la Puerta Grande and the 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

Albunuelas is a traditional Spanish village, situated in the famously beautiful Lecrin Valley, 25 mins from historic Granada & Alhambra Palace and 35 mins from the Costa Tropical. The village has several tapas bars and shops selling fresh local produce within 10 mins walk from the property. 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.
