Mairena, La Alpujarra, Spain

Location:
Casa Rural Las Chimeneas is in the village of Mairena in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada of Andalucia, 1hr 45 minutes from Granada and 1hr 20 mins from Almeria. Almeria is better in the winter months as the route from Granada goes over a mountain pass sometimes booked by snow.

By Air:
Almeria (96km), Granada (110km) or Malaga (130km). Or if you are combining Granada with central / western Andalucia, there are flights to Seville (356km), Jerez (410km) and Gibraltar (358km). Click on the links below for a list of airlines.

By Car:
You will need your own car and for hire cars we recommend Holiday Autos which offers competitive prices and discounts for internet bookings. They use reputable local suppliers, most of whom have premises in the airport (rather than a frustrating bus ride away), and they are usually the cheapest. It’s about 2 hours drive from Granada, 3 hours from Malaga and 1.5 hours from Almeria to Mairena.

Detailed directions will be provided after your booking is confirmed.

You’re as likely to encounter a donkey as you are a car on your way to the village square: that fabled ‘old’ Spain is still alive and kicking. Emma and David, entranced by the sweeping views to the south, bought a huge village house and adjacent buildings here and have created a harmonious, organic and soothing series of living spaces and [r:SP013:rooms] that strike just the right balance between authenticity and comfort. Light floods into the living/dining room through high windows: the view to the south, out across steeply terraced hillsides to the distant Mediterranean, is enticing. This is the sort of place where you slow down, pick up the novel you’ve been meaning to read, and fantasise about making that move to Spain. Fabulous hikes go straight out from the house; you can book an [i!http://www.i-escape.com/hotel.php?section=booking&hotel_key=SP013#week!all-inclusive week] with local transport and route maps. And even if walking isn’t your thing, this is a great place to kick back.
