An Andalusian Cottage in the Southeastern Highlands
Head into this remote section of Andalusia to discover the picturesque southeastern highlands in complete peace and privacy. Located down a rambling dirt road with no other houses in sight, this secluded vacation home rental in Spain is the antidote to touristy Spain. Simple and rustic, the house is the ideal hideaway, with nothing but silence and 360-degree views to take in.
Inside the house, there's a comfy living area with a sofa bed for two, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen. There's also one double bedroom and a bathroom with a shower that opens out to panoramic views of nature.
Outside, the large covered terrace wraps around the house with lovely sunrise and sunsets views with a dining area for meals under the clear night skies.
There are long beautiful walks in nature right from the house where you can hike, bird watch or mountain bike. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes. And by night, skies are unobstructed by city lights, meaning you can relax and soak in the stars
SOUTHEAST ANDALUSIA
The far southeastern corner of Andalusia, situated in the heart of the Almanzora Valley, is populated by charming villages and farms, and enveloped in rural hills and valleys dotted with olive groves and orchards. This is a quieter, less traveled area than other parts of Andalusia. Surrounded by the Cierra de las Estancias and the Sierra de los Filabres mountain ranges, its rich agricultural history is part of the fabric of local culture.
The house is just 6km from the pretty whitewashed town of Albox, with a pleasant main square and plenty of cafes, shops, bars, and restaurants and one of the largest and best markets held every Tuesday. The streets are closed to traffic and you'll find stall after stall of local produce and Spanish delicacies on offer. There are great local shops where you can purchase meat, fruits and veggies, grown by your neighbors.
With more than 170 kilometers of coast, there are plenty of beaches and coves to discover on the Costa de Almeria, including Cabo de Gata National Park and Playa de Cueva del Lobo, each about a 90-minute drive, and Villaricos and Mojacar at a 40-minute drive.
The house is accessed via a dirt track, but a 4x4 is not necessary to reach it.
