Further details
Castillo de Locubin is a large village of some 8,000 people with a full range of shops, bars, restaurants and banks etc. There is also a small market on Mondays in the park which is 2 minutes walk from the apartment. Frequent buses run between here and the nearest town of Alcala (pop 21,000), which is about 10Km away. Alcala is quite vibrant with a very good range of quality shops and a greater variety of restaurants and bars. Market day is Tuesday. Both Castillo and Alcala are on the 'Route of the Caliphate' which is an age old Moorish route between Cordoba and Granada. To quote - 'this Route proposes an enticing adventure for the spirit, between two shining stars of the fabulous legacy of Andalucia'. I have good books on the subject. The Route of Washington Irvine also passes close by. In this route between Seville and Granada the village of Montefrio is given good mention. A little further afield is Alhama de Granada which is home to a famous natural hot spa which still gushes from the ground at 40 degrees celsius and much visited centuries earlier as part of the European Tour by the likes of Lord Byron. At the other end of the scale we have the mountaintop village of Zuheros with its much visited prehistoric caves and restaurants with fabulous views. The village has played host to David Beckham and the rest of the Real Madrid team. These are but a few of the places of interest within range of the village of Castillo de Locubin. There is little wonder that we have no further use for the coastal resorts.

Phil & Carole Tarrant - Feb/April 2007.
Made very welcome by Linda & Steve who gave us good advice and tips about the area. The apartment was great, a real home from home. Would recommend their place to anyone visiting the area. Great place to visit all the famous places of Andalucia. Brilliant.
Paul & Tracy Masters - 10 - 17 March 2007.
Had a wonderful time here. A week was not long enough. Visited Jaen, Alcala la Real, Alcaudete, Zuheros, Martos and Granada. Linda and Steve were perfect hosts and always on hand if needed. Can't wait to return again. The apartment was perfect for our needs, in top condition, clean, homely and ideally situated.
Aleeza & Gadi Zohar (Australia) 13 - 20 April 2007
Many thanks for allowing us the opportunity to discover this truly amazing part of Spain in style and comfort. We really felt at home here in this gorgeous apartment, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The view from the balcony never failed to take our breath away.

We are a married couple who elected to retire early to a sunnier climate and found our dream location in Castillo de Locubin. We have moved from an urban, professional lifestyle to a more rustic, campo existence. When our boots and spades are finally thrown to one side we shall be retiring to our beautiful apartment to live a life of ease. Until then, the apartment is offered to discerning travellers who appreciate comfort and convenience.
