Positioned in an unspoiled Spanish community, ‘Carmen Baja’ offers a Spanish experience for the discerning holidaymaker. The roof terrace gives a perfect vantage point for the many fiestas and processions which are part of the local community and a delightful place to sunbathe or eat under the stars. During the summer, neighbours sit out in the street catching up with the day's news and are delighted to stop and chat. The house is set up as a holiday home, not a rental property. Its position in the center of the old town is ideal for walking to the scores of restaurants, to the 5 kilometers of beaches and to explore the narrow lanes filled with unique boutique shops selling leather, jewellery, clothing and artifacts.
