Hidden Treasure
Review Submitted: August 24, 2009

Finca Avellana is a hidden treasure in the beautiful Ebro Valley. We spent two weeks in May in the Eagle View apartment, and were very impressed – it is well designed, thoughtfully equipped, and is spotlessly clean. The large south-facing balcony, with UV protection sun-shade, has amazing views, and usually the only sound to be heard there was birdsong. Walks in the local area, along pretty country lanes and paths, down into barrancas, and along the Via Verde, kept us very well occupied, and every time we set out, we found more routes to explore. Aldover is a charming village, with three bars, and a couple of shops; Tortosa, by contrast, is a bustling, attractive town, with interesting shops, market hall and restaurants, and a lovely old town area and cathedral.
Stuart and Hazel are very welcoming and considerate hosts, and were extremely helpful, offering any amount of beach equipment, maps, and useful advice, which we very much appreciated. Their generosity was also demonstrated by the various extras available, such as fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables from the garden, books, DVDs, etc. They work hard to provide an excellent holiday experience, and deserve every success.
