Facilities in the surrounding area:
For those seeking all the facilities of a modern Spanish holiday, the villa is only 20 minutes away from the beach resort of Mojacar Playa and the fishing port of Garrucha. Extensive outdoor weekly markets are held Wednesdays in Mojacar Pueblo and Fridays in Garrucha and Turre. There are many excellent restaurants in these towns and nearby villages serving tapas, traditional Spanish food and seafood. For golfers there are 4 courses within a short drive from Bedar and for children there is a water park and Mini Hollywood to visit where they can learn about Clint Eastwood and the Spaghetti Westerns. ALSO AVAILABLE 3 bedroom villa in the next village of El Pinar with private 11 x 5 metre pool. Please contact the owner of the Bedar villa for details.
Walking in and around Bedar:
There are many scented promenades if you choose to walk in Bedar, El Pinar, Los Gallardos and surrounding areas. A mining area until the 1920s you will find evidence of caves, once lived in by the workers, and a railway track, now defunct, which constitutes an interesting walk where you will see the odd tunnel cut through the mountain side or a huddle of stones that may have been an engine house. If you leave Bedar and head through the hills towards La Serena and El Campico you will experience the solitude of the tiny villages and hamlets and see (and smell!) the goat farm in El Campico. But to counteract that you can wander through the hills and marvel at the space, peace and beauty of the mountains and brush your way through rosemary, thyme and sage growing wild and releasing a heady perfume. The older villagers still collect these herbs for their traditional dishes. Some of the walks are displayed on notice boards throughout the villages.
Golf:
There are 4 golf courses within a short drive. Valle Del Este Golf, one of Spain's unique courses, is an 18 hole PGA course situated just outside Vera. This desert course with is island trees and fairways has some great changes of elevation making the course exciting to experience. Between Garrucha and Mojacar is Marina del Torre Golf. The 18 hole course design includes 3 lakes strategically situated and the wonderful views change throughout the course. Desert Springs Golf is situated between the reservoir at Cuevas del Almanzora and the charming fishing village of Villaricos. The springs, watercourses, dry river beds, rock, cactus areas and sand traps are strategically placed throughout the course. Desert Springs captures the essence of what it is that sets golf apart from other sports. Cortijo Grande Golf, once a farming estate, has been transformed into a 9 hole golf course, still abundant with oranges, lemons, grapes and figs. This is a very popular and challenging course.
