Casa Anitra is a delightfully restored 3 bedroom town house, with large roof terrace, situated at the top of the historic town of Salobrena, Costa Tropical de Granada. With spectacular views over the old town, the Mediterranean Sea and the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains, this is a distinctly different proposition from the typical Spanish villa holiday.

The house is set right towards the top of the historic old town with its narrow cobbled streets and winding alleyways and has recently been totally refurbished in a rustic style in keeping with its own character and that of its surroundings. It is in the heart of the Barrio Albaycin of Salobrena, the original Moorish quarter. At least one of the walls of the house contains Moorish brickwork over 600 years old. Probably its finest asset is its roof terrace – from its elevated position at the top of the town it commands 360 degree views across to the sea, the sugar cane fields, the Arab castle and the majestic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The terrace has sunbathing and dining areas and there is a BBQ and a spacious pergola for shade. To relax on the terrace whether by daytime or at night with the floodlit fort above and the lights of the town twinkling below is an unforgettable experience and an integral part of your stay here.

The house sleeps 6 and the accommodation includes one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and one single bedroom. The ground floor has been converted from the old stable and has a fully equipped kitchen, living room/ dining area, tv with free to air English satellite channels +dvd & sofa bed. The large bathroom includes a deep mosaic tiled bath and separate multi-function power shower. Although a car is recommended to get the most out of your holiday it is not essential. Buses run from Malaga, Granada, and Almeria to the bus station in Salobrena and a local bus service will take you up to the end of our street in the old town and down to the beach.

Salobrena is really two towns, the historic “casco antiguo” of traditional white houses and narrow streets winding up to the castle, and the new town of wider streets and shady boulevards below with all the bustle in summer of a lively Spanish holiday resort. It is a sizeable town and local centre with a life of its own independent of tourism so plenty of restaurants and bars stay open even out of season. There is a choice of at least four well stocked supermarkets for food and other basics. A short stroll takes you to the Arab fort and original town square, museum and the church of Our Lady of the Rosary, built on the ruins of the mosque. A wider choice of restaurants and shops is available down in the newer parts of town and along the busy seafront with its sandy beaches - a short walk or even shorter bus ride away. The Alpuharras national park and the Alhambra in Granada are both less than an hour away. Salobrena has excellent beaches and restaurants. The beaches are a short, steep walk downhill, a short drive or simply take the bus which comes on the hour every hour from the top of the road and does a circular route. The beaches are clean and boast a variety of activities from fishing by the famous El Penon restaurant where you can dine with views overlooking the sea in both directions or you may wish simply to sunbathe or do scuba diving/jet skiing further up the 2 km stretch of beaches bordering the Paseo Maritimo. The view from the roof terrace is dominated by the Moorish Castle ‘El Castillo Arabe’. A short walk up to this place will reward you with further amazing views across the verdant plain below and graphically illustrate its strategic position.

A short 20 minute drive westwards along the coast is Almunecar, a busier resort but with its own castle and historic quarter as well. This is the place to go for nightlife and a slightly livelier sense of pace. The weekly flea market and summer jazz festival are well worth taking in. An even shorter trip along the coast in the other direction brings you to Motril, a sizeable port and with a hypermarket and an extensive array of fashionable shops and boutiques.

If you are looking for a modern villa with a pool and plenty of nightlife, this is not for you. But if you can see yourself enjoying a quiet drink on the terrace with views across the roofs of the old town to the sea and towards the Arab fort, then this could be your ideal spot.

We feel this house offers a truly different holiday experience and a flavour of the real Spain away from the ravages of mass tourism.
