The main living area is on the first floor with a large dining kitchen and separate living room. Shady balcony overlooking own large garden and wooded valleys stretching to the Mediterranean. Flagged summerhouse amid almond and olive trees. Barbecue patio. Internal courtyard with flowers and fountain. The village of Jubar lies above the road to Puerta de la Ragua.

Ugijar, a 20 mins away, is a small town with internet cafes, a wide range of shops and services.

Accessibility
Jubar has steep village streets, and although the ground floor is accessible, the living rooms are on the first floor. It is not really an ideal house for people with mobility problems.
Outside
In front of the house there is a lawn shaded by a large mature tree and also a sunny barbecue patio with table chairs, loungers and sunshade. Through the vegetable garden there is a summerhouse with tables and seating, overlooking the views to the south. The land is fringed by olive and almond and fig trees, and fruit from these and from the young fruit orchard are available for guests when in season. Shading the front double doors is magnificent ancient vine which produces fine grapes in late summer, and is a cool place to sit and view the garden. The first floor balcony off the kitchen offers space for outdoor dining, or just relaxing, and is a fine position for birdwatching and bat spotting.
Coast/Beach
Jubar is 55 minutes drive from the beach resort of Almerimar which has golf courses, a large marina, beaches with safe swimming, and good seafood restaurants.
Skiing
Puerta de la Ragua (25 minutes drive) has cross country ski-ing when snow permits during the winter. Equipment can be hired.
Travel
Almeria and Granada airports are 1.5 hours drive away.
Malaga Airport 2.5 hours drive.
Car hire is essential, and available at reasonable rates at all airports.
Distances
Jubar is 10 mins drive to the local village of Laroles which has bars, restaurants, supermarket and bank. There is also a lovely open-air swimming pool open only during July and August. The local market town of Ugijar (20 mins) has supermarkets, restaurants, bars, an internet cafe and all facilities. Jubar is 30 mins from the mountain pass of Puerta de la Ragua, from where you can access Granada (1.5 hours) and the troglodyte town of Guadix (1 hour) with its cathedral, cave houses and museums.
Further details
Situated directly on the GR7 walking route across Andalucia, the village is an ideal base for mountain walking and more serious trekking. Route notes for local walks are provided and the paths are waymarked. The landscape is an artist's dream, and full of opportunities for birdwatchers.
Jubar is a village lost in time where the local people tend their terraces daily, using mules and donkeys both to plough and to carry produce. Goatherds take their flocks out on the mountain to graze. Most of the buildings date back to Moorish times. You will find your neighbours really friendly, even if you can only manage a little Spanish. If your Spanish is good there are many stories to be heard.
There are small shops in Mairena (1 mile away), but a bread van visits Jubar daily, and fish and vegetable vans come several times a week.
