Our group of 10 had an excellent holiday! Incredibly high summer temperatures this summer, but we kept at a comfortable temperature on the huge shaded terrace, overlooking the mountains. There was masses of space for people to read, play cards, do puzzles, snooze, eat and drink. The pool was gorgeous, not massive if you’re after getting your exercise, but great for games, and short cooling lengths.
Everything had been thought about in terms of practicalities, comfort, ease, making the most of the shade, and the view. Up the hill was Comares, a beautiful, very friendly village with places to eat and drink, and a small supermarket. There are some small circular walks from the village, which you could celebrate completing with a lovely cold beer in the square! Our big outings were to Madrid and the Alhambra, and to vibrant Malaga, both of which we enjoyed very much. (Book well in advance for the Alhambra). For the sporty amongst us, the keen cyclist road very early to keep cool, but the roads were smooth, views incredible, with lots of hills! The runners, also headed off early for a hill run to the village square and back, again fabulous terrain to look at! We then all collapsed and spent the days chilling and enjoyed spending time with each other in this beautiful place and location. Have to admit John and Esther had superb books, and it was a joy to see all their collections of things reflecting their musical and artist selves. Everyone we met was warm and friendly. Stunning location, beautiful house, very friendly people, totally enjoyable!
