The Andalucia / Granada Province region

Granada is one of the most beautiful cities of southern Spain and is typically Spanish. It is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The Alhambra Palace (the most visited tourist attraction in Spain) overlooking the city of Granada, stands out as the most famous example of Moorish architecture in the 14th Century.

Granada is famous for its vibrant night-life and is one of the three best cities for college students with the prestigious University of Granada.

The Sierra Nevada National Park / Pinos Genil area

The apartment is 5 minutes walk to the centre of Pinos Genil, an extremely beautiful village through which the river Genil runs. On either side of the river there are typical Spanish restaurants, where you can eat outside under the shade of the numerous tress, observing the slow pace of village life. In many ways you might think you are in a French village rather than in Spain.

Pinos Genil is 5 minutes drive to the fabulous Aquaola Water Park which is well worth a visit., 5 minutes to the majestic Alhambra Palace (the most visited tourist attraction in Spain) and 10 minutes from the centre of lively Granada. Granada is one of the most beautiful cities of southern Spain and is typically Spanish. You won’t hear many English voices. If you do not wish to go out of Pinos Genil to eat, there are a total of nine restaurants in the village to choose from.

You can walk to Granada (approximately 1hr 30mins) following the river Genil all the way. Hence this walk is very gentle.

In Grenada, there are literally hundreds & hundreds of quaint old bodegas serving free tapas with every drink, or meals if you require them. To wander and explore the narrow cobbled streets is an adventure in itself!

5 minutes from Pinos Genil is Cenes de la Vega with all the amenities of a small town plus a waterpark. We highly recommend the restaurant Los Faroles (The Lanterns), halfway down the main street on the right.

If you are a skier or snow boarder, then a 25 minute drive into the mountains brings you to Sierra Nevada, an extremely attractive ski station with excellent parking. It has slopes suitable for all standards of skier. Everything you need to know about the ski resort can be found at their website. Please enquire for details.

If you are a golfer there are three golf courses within 30 minutes drive. For details see www.golfgranadaspain.com

Note: If you want sausage, egg & chips, Karaoke bars & discos rather than a totally relaxing experience in an idyllic place then do not come to Pinos Genil!

“Lovely apartment, landlord from hell.” We arrived only hours after builders had moved out after installing a woodburning stove. Pepa, the cleaner/manager had done her best to get it ready but it was freezing cold and the kitchen equipment was woefully inadequate (we guess everything had to be moved out for the builders and half of it didn't get put back), there were leaks in the downstairs toilet and shower and the heating was temperamental. It has to be said that the woodburning stove was a life-saver but even so it took at least 2 days to warm the place up. We stocked up on relevant cooking and eating ware and deducted it and the extra gas we needed to help boost the heating (which we had to go out and buy) from the balance of the rent we paid Pepa as we left. Our daughter and son-in-law were the last to leave when the landlord turned up and rounded on them, accusing them of stealing €60 from him. They said they counldn't help as they weren't involved in the booking and he should contact me if there was anything still owing. He chased them into the village hurling insults and shouting abuse and even called the police (who let them leave in the taxi they had booked). After we had got the place organised, it was a lovely Christmas week's holiday but tarnished at the last by a very unpleasant experience with the landlord.
