Modern house in traditional white village with mountain views

The house is in the heart of Yunquera, a Pueblo Blanco on the edge of the strikingly beautiful Sierra de las Nieves National Park. The property is located on a side street with good vehicle access and parking, convenient for all village amenities. There is a comfortable living area with a large fully fitted and equipped kitchen / dining area. There are two large double bedrooms, one of which leads onto the terrace with stunning views over the village to the mountains. The house is newly built and is fully furnished to a high standard, with everything necessary for a relaxing stay. The area is ideal for relaxing holidays away from it all, where you will experience the real Spain unspoilt by mass tourism, or more active holidays exploring the surrounding mountains and adventure sports. Activities possible locally include horse riding, bird watching, walking, climbing, caving and balloon flights. Situated in the heart of Andalucia, it makes an ideal base for exploring the wider region.

Throughout this typically Andalucian white village there are spectacular views of the mountains. The area is tranquil and relaxing and is the place to be in order to experience the traditional Spanish way of life. The village is picturesque and contains many narrow winding streets that are a relic of its Moorish heritage. It is a joy to explore and discover the numerous local stores and bars often hidden behind unsigned doors. There are numerous, excellent value, tapas bars and restaurants serving local specialities, some staying open until the early hours of the morning. There are plenty of excellent bakeries, butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers and small supermarkets. There is a well kept public swimming pool (summer months) in the village.

'Enjoyed typical Spanish village life in a newly renovated house with a great amenities and a good sunny balcony. Lots of shops and bars in easy walking distance. Good centre for walks and trekking, and a nice change from the usual Costa's. Will definitely go again to experience the real Andalucian village life and practice basic Spanish language.'
