Guestbook for Almendra apartment
Almendra is a beautiful little oasis..... Spectacular scenery all around Baza, not what you expect from Spain. Plus; lying by the pool - doing absolutey nothing - does'nt get much better. Thanks, Alan and Elizabeth, Glasgow.
It was purely by accident that we found this apartment and were unsure as we thought it was a little isolated. How wrong we were and how glad we found it.......... as there is ample to see and do. A huge thankyou, Karen, Terry, Jordan & Connor, Worthing West Sussex.
Great week, weather amazing, apartment perfect. We have walked in Baza National park - fantastic views. Thankyou for our holiday, Ann, Peter, Liam & Megan, Scotland.
