The sunny roof terrace has stunning views south, east and west over the Rio Santo gorge. The terrace also has a shaded area for the hottest months. The Master bedroom also has windows which look out onto the gorge. On the evening one can sit upon the terrace and watch the eagles soaring as the sun sets. The Moors called this place the Valley of Joy. 

There are no cars in the old Barrio Bajo of Albunuelas, although donkeys pass the ground floor windows of the house each day on their way to work in the orange and olive groves. Freshly baked bread and fish from the coast can be bought each day from hawkers in the square below the church. There are bars restaurants and village shops within walking distance and the village square has a weekly market on Thursdays.  

There are several nice swimming pool/restaurants in nearby villages. Guided walks are available from local English residents which start from the village and can take in items of historical interest (Moorish, Roman, Iberian) as well as the flora and fauna of the valley. Ideal for relaxation and perfect for walkers or bird watchers. The epic GR7 walk from Algeciras to Istanbul passes the door and one of the GR7 markers can be seen upon the wall. The lush valley just beyond the house is rich with oranges, almonds, grapes, figs, pomegranates, persimmons, and prickly pears. In the spring the air is perfumed with orange and almond blossom. The higher slopes of the gorge abound with olives and the scent of wild herbs 

Casa de la Puerta Grande (house of the big door) is a beautifully restored 2 bedroom house in a 'white' village untouched by time - with roof terrace views of the spectacular Rio Santo gorge and Lecrin Valley. Here, while donkeys still wend their way past the windows of the house each day, many of the contrasting and varied delights of Spain lie within easy reach. One can ski at Sierra Nevada in the morning, enjoy free tapas at lunchtime in fascinating and historic Granada (this is the only region of Spain where tapas are often still free!), and laze by waters of the mediterranean in the afternoon.
