Further details
Andalucia includes the most southern provinces of Spain. It is vast and diverse, from the mountains to the coastal areas including the Costa del Sol and the famous cities of Malaga, Granada, Jaen, Cordoba and Seville. It is an all year holiday area with cool nights and sunny days in winter and hot weather during the summer.
The cottage is in the village of Fuente Camacho which has a population of around 600. It has a school, a doctor's surgery, 2 shops and 3 bars where traditional tapas are available. Loja is about a 15 minute drive from Fuente Camocho and is the administrative centre for the area. The town has many historic buildings and churches of interest and is well worth a visit. Not far away is the small hamlet of Rio Frio in which trout hatcheries are to be found. There are some nice restaurants offering trout as a speciality. Antequerra is about a 20 minute drive and this ancient town is a jewel in the crown of this area. It has always been a religious centre and has many churches and convents of interest as well as a Moorish castle. It is also a busy market town and shopping centre with many nice eating places - a must when in the area!
Granada takes about 1 hour in the car and is everything you would expect of this beautiful city. The history, the Cathedral and the famous Moorish buildings of the Alhambra, the setting is magnificent. If you want to visit the Alhambra remember to book in advance to avoid disappointment. This is just a flavour of the region. Recommended reading as your guide to the area is the Footprint Andalucia Handbook.
Owner profile
About the owner
My wife and I are the owners of our cottage in Spain. We live in the village of Bankfoot, Perthshire in Scotland UK. We have lived here since 1974 when we got married. It is a lovely place to live with the hills and Highlands of Scotland on our doorstep. We,along with our son and daughter-in-law, are partners in our village shop business. We have three shops, two in neighbouring villages and the largest in our home village. This type of business is hard work and we always look forward to our trips to Spain for the peace and quiet, away from our otherwise busy lives. We are always pleased to help our guests with their holiday arrangements and are always pleased to hear after how much they enjoyed their stay. Phone us at any time and ask us about our holiday home.
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a home in this location
My wife and I have owned our cottage in Spain since 2000. We love the house primarily because of the location, standing at the top of a hill overlooking the village of Fuente Camacho. We feel at home here, we know the area well and we have lovely Spanish neighbours who are now our dear friends. The house is simple but the main feature is our extensive terraces, one for shade and one for sunshine. If it is peace and tranquility you are after we recommend a visit to our Casa de Jose Brione. Although we are out in the countryside it is easy to plan a day at the beach and we often head for Nerja, our favourite beach resort.
Unique benefits of the property
We feel very much that we are in Spain and can appreciate the Spanish culture. This can be the welcome in our local bar or shop, the annual village fiesta or the restaurants crowded with families on a Sunday afternoon. We have lovely Spanish neighbours which leaves you no option but to try and speak Spanish - be warned!
