Details
NEW: Casa Roy is a spacious 3/4-bedroom country villa with excellent access, located above the Moorish white village of Alcaucín. From the property you can soak up the panoramic views over the unspoilt green valley, the surrounding mountain ranges and, in the distance, the turquoise waters of Lake Viñuela.
The village of Alcaucín is just a short drive away and offers all necessary amenities, such as bars, restaurants, a supermarket and a bakery. Puente Don Manuel is an 8-minute drive and provides additional facilities including a post office, supermarkets, a popular butcher, bakery, bars and restaurants, and a beauty salon. The Sierra Tejeda Natural Park is within walking distance, offering many wonderful hiking routes.
Every November, Alcaucín celebrates its chestnut festival (Fiesta de la Castaña), a traditional event where the Town Hall offers food, wine and of course roasted chestnuts to visitors. There are stalls selling local products and live entertainment in the evening. In August, the village hosts a lively three-day summer fair featuring flamenco, parades, live bands and fireworks.
The coast at Torre del Mar is a 25-minute drive, and you can reach the vibrant city of Málaga in just under an hour.
