The Andalucia / Almeria Province region


The region of Almeria is an arid landscape with some outstanding areas of natural beauty. Spaghetti Westerns have been filmed here as has Lawrence of Arabia. 3,000 hrs of sunshine per year, combined with the warm Mediterranean climate makes it ideal for all types of outdoor activities ~ birdwatching, walking, painting and sightseeing in the real Spain.
Coastal resorts of Mojacar, Garrucha and Vera are within easy reach. The Cabo de Gata national park, designated a Biosphere Reserve by the UNESCO in 1997, covers some 38,000 hectares of land.
Albox is nestled between the spectacular mountain ranges known as the "Sierra de Los Filabres" and the "Sierra de Las Estancias" in the Almanzora Valley.
The Cantoria area
A new road network in the vicinity means that you can get from the four nearest airports (Almeria / Granada / Murcia / Alicante) to within 1/2 mile of the villa on major routes cutting down on travel time. The last 400metres to the villa is a camino (dirt track) The nearest town of Cantoria (5 mins by car) has a bank, a small supermarket, police station, fishmonger, bakery, post office, tobacconist and several tapas bars and cafes. Small winding streets and a spectacular church in the town centre make this a very typical Spanish town. Market day is on wednesdays. Albox (10 mins drive) has a market every Tuesday which winds through the streets into the Rambla (dry river bed). For the insane you can visit a different market every day of the week most of which are within a 40 min drive. 2 minutes away is a Danotrell garage open until midnight and has a little shop for milk, bread etc - useful for late arrivals.
Horse riding Rancho Luz Del Sol (viva-almeria.com), Diving, Off road motorbikes(ccquads.com), all available in the area. A water park -The Parque Aquatico Vera (Aquavera.com) is a popular tourist attraction and is only 30 mins away. Oasys, previously known as Mini Hollywood is less than an hour away. This is a cowboy town with CanCan girls, western style shoot out and a zoo. Great fun for a full day out. Brochures for these can be found in the villa, along with maps, business activity cards and various fliers for things to see, do and try.

Wow! what a great villa!! Large villa with lots of space. Key holders very friendly. We had a fantastic time at Casa del Careve, comfortable and well equipped. The outside space to this gorgeous villa are spectacular and the views even more so. The pool was a welcome relief from the heat and a great place to relax and chill. The villa was a real home from home. Would recommend to family and friends and look forward to returning one day. |
