The Inland Andalucia / Cordoba Province region

The area has a wealth of beauty, interest and things to do - the regions website has full details. For example - Situated above a 32km long lake, is the old Spanish town of Iznajar. With lovely white washed houses and narrow winding lanes. The castle dates from the 8th century while the church dates from the 16th century. If you can manage the climb the views are spectacular, of course you can always stop for some refreshment on the way.

The village is 15 mins for the autovia, 40 mins from Granada (Al Hambra is a must) and 90 mins from Sevilla, making it ideally situated for sightseeing, a day trip to Gibraltar is also possible.

You can play Golf at Granada, Antequera or Motril or visit the beautiful lake and village of Iznajar which is close by and where you can fish, sail or just relax on the beach. If you enjoy eating out there are many resturants/bars to choose from, all within easy reach of the house, ranging from the Tapas bars in the village to the 5 Star luxury Hotel La Bobadilla. Or you can simply relax by the pool or amid the olive groves. Slip into the time warp of the locals, bring your phrase book, the Spanish love to hear us trying to speak their language, and they are so very welcoming.

However you spend your time here, we can be certain that you will not want to leave. We came for a visit and ended up moving here, and now I could write a book on all of our wonderful adventures made possible by the real Spanish people.
