This is my village. It is a turning off the main road up towards Baza, after Olula del Rio. Around 850 mtrs above sea level there is an amazing balcony over the valley giving an amazing view all around. It truly will take your breath away. There are several bars and I understand th pool bar is now serving hot food (I have yet to try their food). We also have a bakers, mini supermarket (not a lot that is super about it), 2 butchers and on fridAy the fish van calls and on sunday there is a market, usually consisting of a fruit and veg stall, a clothing stall, hard goods stall with pots and pans and, if we are really lucky, there maybe a North African stall with sunglasses, wallets , belts etc but only if he cannot find a pitch at Fines market which is on the same day!
It always surprises me when I hear people who live here have not ventured north of Albox. The Almanzora valley from Albox up to Baza is a beautiful place, with lots to explore. How many of you have been u to see Las Menos the abandoned village? It's a stunning pace to take visitors. Then there is the natural pool at Cela. Surrounded by bars and restaurants, it has a constant temperature throughout the year and the water has a really beneficial affect on the skin and is great for swimming...
I am happy to act as tour guide....
