The House
Situated between the ancient white villages of Bubión and Capileira, high up in the Alpujarras (1350m above sea level), Casa de Alguaztar is a wonderful base for exploring the area or ideal just to sit, relax and enjoy the pool and the surroundings.
The house has south facing gardens and terraces, with views of the mountains and down the Poqueira valley as far as the Mediterranean. On clear days you can even see the coast of Africa.
It is comfortably furnished and full of character, with beams and large, spacious rooms. There is a private parking area in front of the house.
Bubión, a 5 minutes walk, and Capileira, 10-15 minutes, are pleasant and traditional villages, with plenty of shops and restaurants.
The snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains, the highest in Spain, are a spectacular backdrop to the villages. Mulhacén and Veleta, the main peaks, are over 3400m. The area is a Natural Park and offers wonderful scenery, walks, peace and tranquillity.
