Drive on uncrowded roads amongst the mountains and valleys cloaked with olive trees. There are various official walks in the area with free guide maps available and we have also devised several short walks directly from Al-Queria for a relaxed stroll through the olive groves. If you need a purpose to your walk, our dogs would be only too pleased to join you. Bird watchers will be delighted at the variety of species locally with Griffon vultures regularly visible from their roosts in Fuentes de Cesna.
Algarinejo pueblo is just 15 minutes away with bars, restaurants (including one of the best in Granada province), banks with ATM, shops, a grand church, an old quarter, Saturday market, plus lots of history. See www.turismoalgarinejo.com (a good site in English or Spanish) for greater detail of the whole area. Priego de Córdoba, a large baroque town, is just 45 minutes away and is well worth a visit for it's many historical sights, sophisticated charm and Moorish quarter with castle. www.turismodepriego.com
For eating out, there are traditional bars with tapas, simple Andalusian "comedors" as well as high quality restaurants including one of the best in Granada province, just 15 minutes away. |
Fuentes de Cesna is our nearest village, just 5 minutes away and has local bars, restaurant, large swimming pool (open July/August) and a Friday market. The ancient, abandoned village of Fuentes Viejas has natural springs from which it gets it's name and is set in a delightful park.
The Alhambra Palace and gardens in Granada is just over an hour by road. The Alhambra organisation restrict numbers of visitors in the high season and we recommend that you book tickets at www.alhambra.org (this site in English with other languages available) prior to your visit. Granada city may be viewed from an open-topped bus ride which leaves from the Alhambra site. The city of Córdoba is just under 2 hours by road and you can visit the Moorish Mezquita (mosque) and perhaps take a horse carriage ride around the sights of the city. During May, the world famous patios are lush with flowers and are worth a visit in their own right. www.turismodecordoba.org
