A ground floor, charming open-plan apartment simply but tastefully decorated, compact and cosy. Large, very private and splendid garden with views over Ferreirola, Atalbeitar and the mountains. The hammock (the traditional Mexican for "true" sleeping in) hangs between a medlar tree and an old, wild cherry tree. Best siestas! A tall, green stretch of bambu cane, rungs along the North side of the garden. Sun loungers, hammock and reclinable wooden arm chairs plus 2 wood sitting benches, give plenty of scope for resting in nature. There is a 2 metre, anatomic double bed and reading lamps and a comfortable seating area with a high quality wood stove plus electric heater. The bathroom has a mosaic tiled shower with an automatic watter heater, a kitchen area with 2 gas rings, fridge, toaster, mixer, and all other necessary utensils plus a very generous ammount of glass and kitchen ware with pieces of local ceramic. |

Depending on the season and how benign the weather has been. There can be some home produce to taste: olive paté,some preserves, dried tomatoes, eggs, fresh vegetables and plenty of fruit directly from the trees.
Travel
A car can be rented if you wish to move about very freely in your own time. It is also possible to come without renting a car.
A bus runs from Granada to Pitres 3 times a day and twice a day to Ferreirola.
The bus runs through most of the villages on its way to and back from Granada so one could move by bus through the area with a certain ammount of planning.
Further details
The completely private apartments are set in their own lovely gardens amidst traditional terraces with some springs with medicinal properties. A paradise for anyone who loves nature, seeks a retreat, wishes to have good energyzing walks or wishes simply to have a peaceful and stress-free healthy holiday.
It is a haven for respiratory sufferers and a delight for painters and serious walkers.
The nearby village of Pitres (4km) has mini super market, chemist, bank, 24 hour health centre and a Friday morning market. Vans selling bread, fish, fruit and vegetables pass on the road below the house frequently.
There is a swimming pool at the campsite (4km) with a good restaurant for a full meal or some free "tapas" with a drik.
Within 10 mnts walk there are 4 restaurants, both vegetarian and local.
In near by villages there is an endless offer of good varied types of food. Tapas served everywhere are especially generous in this area. A 2 or 3 "cañas" (medium bear in straight glass) with their attached free "tapa" could suffice for a meal. The famous white washed villages of the Alpujarras are all around and offer delightful local pottery and rugs. There is a long established vegetarian/vegan restaurant within easy walking distance. Lately a piano bar opened which is becoming popular with visitors.
