Casa Amigos Sorvilán - La Almendra

We invite you to our house situated on the slopes of Appujara in Pueblo Sorvilán. It is a traditional mountain house, a typical example of Andalusian architecture. It is made of local stone and some walls are even 1 m wide. The house consists of a ground floor and a second floor and is fully let to you. A total of 7 people will sleep in three bedrooms with a different arrangement of beds. All 3 bedrooms are located on the ground floor and there is also a toilet on the ground floor. The first floor consists of a living room with fireplace, spacious kitchen, bathroom, balcony and large terrace. This terrace of ours is a great thing - possibly the most wonderful thing in the house. On it, you will eat lazy breakfasts, indulge in a siesta, and in the evenings you will sit comfortably with a glass of wine. And something tells us that you will remember the view from this terrace for a long time. As if that was not enough, there is also a garden with a view of the sea and mountains at your disposal. You dash lemons and pomegranates in it, and there is also an avocado for morning guacamole. At your disposal is also a bodega with the possibility of an independent entrance from the garden. It is a traditional place for feasting and making music in an Andalusian atmosphere. Sorvilán, where we are located, is a charming Andalusian town with Islamic roots, not far from Granada and even closer to the Mediterranean Sea. We have a subtropical climate here, and the local hills are covered with almond trees and grapevines. In 20 min. you will get from us to the Alboran Sea. Time flows lazily here, apart from the hustle and bustle and pace of the modern world. This is a great advantage of this place, although sometimes it can be a challenge for visitors. Please see our driving directions and where and when to buy something to eat. One more thing: if you want to come to us for a job, no problem. There is high-speed internet at home, there is also a printer, you can work remotely without worries.

You will have to take care of the food yourself. You can buy fresh vegetables and fruits at the Saturday market in Sorvilán, bread is delivered every morning, and for more shopping, it's better to go to the Dia supermarket in Albuñol on your way to the beach. At home, a spacious and well-equipped kitchen awaits you, and meals are best eaten, of course, on the terrace. A handful of nutritional tips from us: - Shops in Spain are closed on Sunday and open until around 2pm on Saturday, - You can buy bread every day around 9.00-9.15 in Plaza Alta Square. A van carrying fresh bread always beeps happily before arriving so that no one gets confused. - Vegetables and fruit arrive every Saturday from around 9.00 am. A truck welcomes you at the aforementioned square. At this stall on big wheels you can buy literally everything. - A doorstep shop opens every Wednesday from 9.00 am to 11.00 am. You can buy all the basic things to eat, household chemicals, but also e.g. batteries. There is only dairy and meat in the shop. - There is a small local pub by the church in the village. You can meet the inhabitants, drink coffee, beer or wine. - Every Sunday around 2 p.m. the bar next to the church serves absolutely delicious lunches for 10 euros per person. - We also encourage you to visit the newly opened vegan / vegetarian restaurant - the nearby town of Polopos - Lovers of wine and traditional Spanish food, we encourage you to visit the restaurant and vineyard at the same time - Haza del Lino

Siesta - yes, but nobody here has ever heard of boredom. Immediately after landing at the airport in Granada, you throw yourself into the slack, put on a mental sombrero and you switch to Amigos de Sorvilán mode. You can do a lot here, you do not need anything, and all this is to relax as much as possible: enjoying the Spanish sun, a charming town and the company of your favorite amigos. Let's start with the house itself. In it, not boredom takes many forms: you can indulge in it on the terrace, catching up on books, or simply admiring the views of the sea and the hills. You can use the garden, stroll around the town lazily, and in the evenings, feast with your friends with Spanish cuisine, with conversations over wine that last until the night. For those willing and seeking complete relaxation, we offer a professional massage on site at home or literally 100 meters away in the charming El Jazmin created especially for your comfort :-). We can also offer yoga and meditation classes :-). Just let us know what you want :-)! We have many amigos in the town, with which you will also become friends soon: - with Pablo from Argentina, you will learn to dance tango, - we recommend a visit to the friendly restaurant Haza del Lino, where you can also visit the vineyard and buy local wines, - and our Dutch friends Tysa and Wijnand in Polopos will invite you to a cooking course combined with a tasting. And now the attractions that our neighborhood has to offer - something tells us that you will be satisfied: - In 20 min. you will reach the Alboran Sea by car and relax on one of its beautiful beaches. You can also take advantage of the opportunities offered by diving centers for underwater adventures. - Such an advantage of this area that, in addition to the sea, we also have mountains here: the Appujarski Mountains. You can cross it on foot, bike or motorbike, and go skiing in the nearby Sierra Nevada. - It would be a sin not to visit the nearby Granada - but we probably do not have to persuade you to do so. It is said that whoever has not seen Granada has seen nothing. This historic city, named after the pomegranate, was the center of the last Muslim state in the Iberian Peninsula in the late Middle Ages. The influence of Arab culture can be seen here in architecture and art. Make sure to visit the Alhambra, the historic palace complex (note: tickets must be booked many months in advance!), The local cathedral from the 16th century, and the Albaicín district, with its atmosphere like in Marrakesh. PS The bus to Granada departs from the square on Calle Careterra at 9.00 am; return 16.50. - You are only 1.5 hours from Sorvilán to Malaga. And there is no shortage of attractions in Málaga. There you will see Picasso's birthplace, visit the Center Pompidou contemporary art museum, go back in time at the 8th-century citadel and taste delicious dishes with Moorish influences. Moreover, it is only 140 km from Malaga to Gibraltar, so if you dream of a further trip ...
