At Casita de Ron & Casita Margarita

Two one bedroom stone built cottages surrounded by trees a short walk from the traditional mountain village of Bayacas . From £139 p.w.

The Casitas are traditional single storey stone dwellings with beam and cane roofs, white washed walls and shady patios.Casita de Ron faces towards the east with a narrow 'sunken' patio with a huge vine and a separate piece of land with Avocado, Lemon and Fig trees. Casita Margarita faces largely towards the west and has a patio shaded by beautiful trees with a larger piece of land and almond, chestnut, cherry and olive trees as well as many wild plants.

The Situation is exceptional with mountains in every direction and a sense of space and timeless tranquility .The Rio Chico is near by and a small bridge crosses to the village of Bayacas. Here there is a church , public phone and many alleys and terraces where village life continues as it probably has done for centuries. 30 minutes down the track (or 10 minutes drive) is the lively market town of Órgiva with banks, shops covered market, health food shops and many bars, restaurants and cafes.20 minutes walk up a steep track is a bar restaurant with views for many miles. Beyond this are the mountain villages many connected by footpaths. All have their attractions, some are particularly scenic, flower decked and steeply terraced. Pitres has a vegetarian restaurant, almost unheard of in Spain! A little further along you can look down on to El Duque made famous by Chris Stewart in his best sellers ‘Driving over Lemons’ and ‘A Parrot in a Pepper Tree’. Easy driving distance includes a spectacular coast of cliffs and bays with small resorts and good beaches; Granada with historic streets, cathedral and the famous Alhambra; Lanjaron, a spa whose waters are drunk all over Europe and of course spectacular walks in the high sierra.
