As we have mentioned before but cannot mention enough the wonderful Turquoise Blue Lake Negratin is only 10 minutes away and offers so much. You can swim, fish, hire a boat or just relax and people watch. On the Freila side there are pedalos to hire. On the Cuevas De Campo side you can choose naturist or clothed areas to sit and swim or walk the old road which was hidden under the lake for many years and has just re-appeared due to the lack of water. There are restaurants and cafe bars all around so you have no excuse to be hungry or thirsty.
The village has many fiestas but the largest is in June. It lasts for 3 days and everyone is welcome. It is one large party from Friday to Sunday night when we have a large firework display which outshines many a city one.

“Lovely, unusual house in stunning landscape.” We are a family of 2 parents and 2 teenagers. The cave house was a delight - comfortable, well-equipped and wood-burning stove for chilly nights. Most of the buildings in the village are cave houses and chimneys, doors and satellite dishes sprout from the hillside. The village has a couple of bars, a good butchers, a small supermarket and another small village shop very near by. Restaurants are a short drive away, but mainly we cooked at home. The cave house lies at the foot of the castle ruins which provides great views over the village and amazing surrounding countryside. Great walks, in stunning countryside, especially around megalithic tombs overlooking spectacular gorge at nearby Gorafe. Easy drive up from Almeria - about an hour and a half. The owners, Violet and Roger, are friendly and helpful and have provided a helpful folder of info and activities. Great place and very unusual - we will certainly go again. Response: Thank you for your kind words about your stay in our cave house over Christmas. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you plan to return. Thats what we like to here. Yes there is plenty to see and do here and hopefully when you return we will find more for you to discover and explore. Thanks once again.

“Quiet location, friendly and helpful owners, interesting location” We booked the cave last minute with the intention of having a quiet relaxing break. The accommodation fitted the bill perfectly. The kitchen was well equipped and enabled us to cook regularly. The rooms were comfortable and during a couple of cold nights the wood burner was a real bonus. Violet was very helpful and provided clear instructions to meet, collect the keys and take us to the cave. Good service. The location of the property does require a car to visit the local attractions but even without driving the shops in the village provide 90% of what you need (the bakery does great bread). Overall I would recommend visiting if you want a quiet place to stay in a Spanish village and away from the usual 'Costa' holiday. Response: Thank you both for your wonderful comments. We love it when people say they enjoyed staying in our cave and in our village. It makes it all worthwhile. Hope to see you both again one day.

“Cool cave” What a welcoming and delightful place to choose for a holiday. The owners welcomed us warmly and left us a welcome pack of food/wine making it very easy to settle in quickly to the relaxed pace of life in the village. We really appreciated the coolness of the cave especially as the temperatures outside were 40+ C. We appreciated the information folder detailing all the local places of interest in the area. It is just a pity that it was too hot for us to do some of the walks available in the area. We would particularly recommend the dolmens burial chambers at Gorafe as something different to see.

“Wonderful!” What an amazing experience. To live for 10 days in the wonderful cave was a real treat. The rooms are a cool retreat from the baking sun. It is very well equipped, if it isnt there you probally dont need it. The information folder is outstanding. Not just a few leaflets from the tourist information centre but personal accounts of days out. We used it every day and had some wonderful trips. Bacor is a lovely little village, a short stroll in the morning to the bakery and the butcher and home to the best sausage sandwich you could wish for. The surrounding area is stunning. The lake is great for swimmimg or kayaking, the mountains provide some great walking and the villages are full of character. Violet and Roger are perfect hosts, theyy met us with a warm welcome and are in the village should you need anything. All in all a wonderful place and we certainly hope we can return one day. Andy and Wendy Response: Thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased you enjoyed your experience in our cave. We would love to see you back here again sometime, but in the meantime please recommend us to your friends and familes etc.

“beautiful area, great house/experience. quiet. perfect for walking holidays, owners couldnt be more informative/helpful” A wonderful experience to stay in a cave, perfect temperature made it very comfortable. scenery breathtaking. tons of information about the area and very detailed information of nearby walks. If you have kids needing entertaining its not ideal. The owners were available but not imposing at all. house was well equipped even providing picnic gear. Would be suitable all year round, definitely want to go back in spring for walking and winter for skiing. highly recommend. the entries in the visitors book in the house has only high praise for the house, owners and area, from various groups of people for varying stays from a few days to a few months at different times of year. You need a car Response: So glad you enjoyed your Bacor Olivar experience and that you found the information we provided useful.
