The Alhambra in Granada is a very popular place to visit by our summer guests. It takes just 2 hours to drive to Granada along the Almeria to Sevilla motorway. The motorway skirts around Granada and the Alhambra car park is easily accessed. There is a shuttle bus that takes you from the Alhambra direct to the Plaza de Nueva where it’s a short walk to the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Entrance to the Alhambra can be booked by telephone:

The Cabo de Gata National Park  is one of the most beautiful and ecologically rich coastal strips in the western Mediterranean and  is the first Natural land and sea park in Andalucia. The drive takes just over an hour and the route down the mountain, via Nijar, is very dramatic. The park offers walks on marked trails and tracks amongst native scrub and grasses, amidst the scent of wild lemon balm and the distinctive aromas of curry plant and herbs. You are able to follow inland trails and coastline.

The City of Almeria is again just an hour away by car. The local bus travels from Lubrin to Almeriatwice a day for the princely sum of Euros 7.00! Places to visit include the Alcazaba, Cathedral and Cables Ingles which is a Victorian overhead railway gantry that was used to transfer minerals from the railway wagons to the port. There are a wealth of Bars and Restaurants as well as shops and a splendid esplanade for walks along the sea front.
