Carboneras holiday house: carboneras

July this year, my young daughter and I visited Carboneras, a traditional Spanish fishing village on the coast of Almeria.

Unlike, a statement I read from a recognised ‘travel bible’ and also a very poor review by someone who could not have been there, Carboneras is far from being industrial.

What I found was a charming, eclectic close community of people who took pride in their village and welcomed you as one of them in their many soirees.

The place we chose to stay in was a townhouse in the heart of the village and a short walk to a beautiful unspoilt beach, was far beyond my expectations.

The owner of the property, had put a lot of attention to detail in keeping with the traditional ‘Moorish’ theme of the area, everywhere you looked were dazzled with interesting features.

This would suit someone into eclectic interiors. My favourite was the centre ‘atrium’ of the building and the upstairs bathroom. Unlike one chaps view of his supposed stay, the dishwasher was not in the middle of the kitchen as he claimed, but in line with the rest of the kitchen units.

The owner was very helpful with his knowledge on places. One of those places was a bar/restaurant on the seafront that served the best grilled fish.

All in all we both had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone.
