A Holiday Home for all Seasons::
This is a perfect location for your holiday - whatever the season: SPRING (February to April) the weather is cooler and perfect for Golf, walking, sightseeing, bird watching, and trying out the local restaurants. The blossom on the trees and the numerous wild flowers are glorious to see, as are the baby lambs skipping over the land in front of the house, with the rest of the sheep and their shepherd, remember to call out 'Hola' to the shepherd. Then curling up in the evening in the fully centrally heated house, either with a bottle of wine and a good book, or watching one of the many programmes on the full satellite package. SUMMER (May to September) For Sun Worshippers, the weather is hot for lazing by the pool sunbathing, and the pool is welcoming for cooling down. The BBQ is waiting for you to show off your skills. Long hot summers days and nights to enjoy the surroundings, or sitting outside the local bar soaking up the friendly atmosphere.
AUTUMN (October to November) the weather cools once again and its back to being perfect for Golf, walking, sightseeing, bird watching, trying out the local restaurants, and much more. The almonds are ready and you can pick yourself some almonds from our trees. WINTER (December to January) Is much the same as Spring and Autumn but a bit colder, but perfect for skiing in the Sierra Nevadas (90 mins). Autumn to Spring are the perfect time for visiting the many wonderful sights in Granada, Cordoba and Seville and the many other glorious places that may be too busy or too hot in Summer. Although places like the Donkey Sanctuary (el Refugio del burrito) in Fuente de Piedra, Antequera are always worth a visit – look out for our adopted donkey (Monty), and why not adopt one yourself. Five minutes walk from the house there is a beautiful gorge leading down to the river. Great for exploring, but wear study shoes. Tax-Free Gibraltar and Mini-Hollywood (Tabernas) are both great days out.
Fiestas::
From June to August/September there are fiestas happening somewhere in the area. Venta del Rayo has a fiesta around the weekend of 16/17 July, and another bigger one around mid August, which ends with a firework display around. Loja has several fiestas throughout the year and its main summer fiesta is the last week of August. One of the events of the fiesta is hang-gliding/Paragliding, where hang-gliders and paragliders from all over Spain and even further afield, take off from the mountain (Sierra de Loja) behind our village and land on the football field next to the village bar (Rafael's). It is a spectacular sight seeing so many paragliders / hang-gliders in the air. A fireworks spectacular marks the end of the fiesta in Loja. Email or call us if you would like further information or photos of the property.
