Albunuelas is one of the quiet, unspoilt villages in the Lecrin Valley, dotted around the hillsides and mountains of this area between Granada, the Sierra Nevada and the coast. It is a beautiful village surrounded by citrus groves, almong blossom and olive trees. One can easily reach Granada with the famous Alhambra palace, Lanharon and Alpujarras, Seville and Cordoba. Europe's most southerly ski resort Sol y Nieve and the mediterranean coastal towns of Salobrena etc. Our house Casa Puerta Azul is a charming village property tucked away in a quiet corner of Albunuelas. It has recently been restored using traditional materials. The ground floor is open plan, and the upper floors have three pretty bedrooms and a wonderful roof terrace with views out over the village. It is ideal for a family wanting to be a part of a traditional Andalucian village, and still having the privacy of the private pool and sun-trap roof terrace. There are storage heaters and electrical heaters for winter use.

Distances
Many visitors reckon that Granada is the most beautiful city in Andalucia. It is about 25 kms away (thirty minutes) and is very historic. The Alhambra Palace must be visited along with the Moorish quarter. Every year there is a music festival in June. Lanjaron, 30 mins away, is the entry town for the Alpujarras area.
Further details
Albunuelas is a quiet village at the end of the mountain road. Casa Puerta Azul is found in the Barrio Bajo (lower quarter) close to the orange groves and valley. The village has a bank, four bars, one restaurant, two supermarkets, pharmacy, doctor's surgery and a dentist, two churches and a small weekly market. The nearby town of Durcal has other shops and the major stores and Hypermarkets of Granada are close by. We have found the villagers to be very friendly but very few speak English and so you will have a very genuine experience of rural Spain!
