Location
Lubrin is located about 1 hour cross country from Almeria Airport
or 2 hours motorway/cross country from Alicante or Murcia Airports. The well
known beach resorts of Mojacar and Garrucha which are just 45 minutes away by
car and the drive along the scenic route, via Bedar, is awesome! The more
Spanish resorts of San Juan Torres and Aquilas (to the North) and Carboneras,
Agua Marga and San Jose ( to the South) are about an hour away. These Spanish
resorts, in Summer, are very much less crowded, especially mid-week, than
Mojacar and Garrucha.
Places of Interest include Cuevas de Almanzora for its cave houses and Tabernas
for its magnificent Desert National Park. At Tabernas is a Westen Theme park on
the site of the Clint Eastwood Movies! The Gabo de Gata National Park is about
an hour away : a desert, ending abruptly at the sea, with most beautiful,
volcanic formations, beaches with difficult access and white villages. The
landward side of the Natural Park is inhabited with a diverse species of birds
and the sea is rich in marine life. The ancient Andalusian city of Almeria(1
hour away) lies sheltered at the base of a bay, proudly dominated by the amazing
Alcazaba, a huge Moorish citadel with three walled enclosures dating from 995.
Lubrin is just
30mins from the Almeria- Sevilla Motorway so that Granada, Sierra Nevada and the
Alpuharras are just over 2 hours away and the skiing and walking seasons adds
another dimension to life in Lubrin. Andalucia also offers such cultural gems as
Seville, Cordoba and Cadiz which are no more than 4 hours away by car.
