Information on the local area
Spain has been a popular destination for tourists from all over the world for many years¸ but now¸ due the relaxing of the European market and country borders¸ it is also becoming the desired place of residence for many European citizens.
People from the United Kingdom who are looking for a this peaceful place such as this with its many advantages including the low cost of living and a favourable climate¸ will find they could experience a better quality of life here.
For these reasons¸ the purchase and sale of rural property is a growing business and a good choice economically.
The city of Granada is the
stunning capital of this province of Andalucia. In addition to this
city's rich culture and history ( La Alhambra is the most visited monument
in Spain) ¸ the province can offer numerous other tourist attractions¸
such as National Parks (including the Sierra Nevada which¸ snow capped all
year¸ held the World Skiing Champions in 1996); the Mediterranean
sea; health resorts¸ beautiful villages and a delicious local cuisine.
The zone known as the 'Altiplano de Granada' consists of the regions of Baza and Hu?scar. Villages in the Region of Baza are: Baza¸ Benamaurel¸ Caniles¸ Cortes de Baza¸ Cuevas del Campo¸ C?llar¸ Freila and Z?jar.
The market
town of Baza¸ a crossroads of the two civilizations¸ the Moors and the
Christians¸ is a mix of curious old streets and monumental buildings
(including some Moor?sh quarters) . North from Baza¸ between lush green
valleys and vertiginous cliffs¸ is the village of Benamaurel with its
famous Moslen caves; Castillejar¸ nearby¸ is located between the rivers of
Guardal and Bravata¸ it is a town with quiet streets and tranquil
squares. C?llar has Roman origins and maintains many of its ancient
traditions¸ whilst Z?jar is an agricultural town¸ located at the foot of
the striking Cerro Jabalc?n¸ from where you have a magnificent panorama of
the whole region and the Pantano del Negratin (a dammed reservoir). Freila¸
a town of whitewashed houses and caves¸ is on the banks of the reservoir
and adjacent to an incredible lunar landscape of eroded mounds of rock.
Cuevas del Campo¸ as suggested by its name¸ is a village of caves¸ and Caniles
is the last stop before the exciting climb to the Sierra de Baza National
Park. Cortes de Baza is a charming agricultural village and Galera and
Orce are both ancient villages with important Argarian prehistoric sites
and an Archaeological Museum which holds the Orce man (El hombre de Orce)¸
a reproduction of the bones of one of the first humans in Europe which
were found nearby . Noble Hu?scar is a commercial place with beautiful
fertile plains and colourful houses. The Castilian Puebla de Don Fadrique¸
formally a hunting town¸ is at the foot of the striking Sierra de la Sagra
at the edge of the region¸ and finally we have Castril¸ a dramatic¸ rural
town on the banks of a white water river¸ which nestles under a huge cliff
and is at the entrance to the Castril National Park.
