Where We Are

For those othose visitors with their own transport we are well placed for day trips to the beautiful city of Granada with its Moorish palace of the Alhambra and renaissance cathedral and monuments. You may want to visit the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the first Catholic monarchs, or simply stroll along the narrow streets stopping for tapas at local bars or in hidden squares.

Also within close driving distance is the troglodyte town of Guadix with its weekly street market selling local produce. On the way you can stop at the stunning castle of La Calahorra set on its own on a hill with the vast expense of the Sierra Nevada behind.

We are one just over an hour away from the unspoilt protected area of Cabo de Gata with its wild beaches cliffs and bird santuary. This is an ideal spot for traditional fish restaurants and for those who wish to contrast the mountain life in Mairena with a few hours next to the sea. For others who wants to leave the stresses of driving behind, local transport can also be arranged at little extra cost.
