Must see: 14-15th September, Vàlor is the place to be for the Moros y los Cristianos re-enactment.

Vàlor in Granada

Lying between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean, the Alpujarra is renowned for tranquility, the purity of air and beautiful skies. The white-washed village of Valor is a reflection of the picture-perfect Spanish retreat that holidaymakers seek. Situated 900 meters above sea level, you can walk through almond, olive and chestnut groves in the cool of the evening, sample the local mineral water from natural springs, then relax in the picnic area near the old bridge.

Vàlor has a 16th century Mudéjar church, and the village’s Moros y los Cristianos is one of the most famous festivals in Spain, also dating from the 16th century. It involves the staging of a colourful re-enactment of the battle between the Moors and the Christians, and it also coincides with celebrations dedicated to Santo Cristo de la Yedra, the patron of the Alpujarras. Also be sure to check out the Cultural Festival in July if you get a chance, which ends with a massive paella in the Church square.

Facilities include 2 supermarkets selling locally grown produce amongst other fayre, and a range of bars and restaurants with outside terrace bars. All the bars in the area serve tapas and most offer a full menu with a wide choice of local cuisine.

The Alpujarra has a great sunshine record, and it is a popular retreat for Spanish families. A perfect destination for hill walking, painting, photography, birdwatching, astronomy, or just relaxing. The nearby villages of Berja and Ugijar also warrant a visit whilst you’re in the area.

This luxury modern three bedroom duplex offers superb sea-views, overlooking Marina del Este. It is situated less than 50 metre from the swimming pool and children’s paddling poool, and sleeps up to 6 people.

Being situated in the provence of Granada the area is realatively unspoilt and still retains a very Spanish feel.  It offers very good access to beaches and sightseeing, and is close to the villages of Nerja, Frigliana,and La Herradur.

Getting to Granada is easier than ever before since the opening of the new autovia from the coast up to the ancient city. The autovia also links to the caves of Nerja, which make for a great day out.

The duplex is idealy situated for golf lovers, as there are three golf courses within 45 mins drive:

Los Moriscos Golf Course on the Costa Tropical is a charming 18 hole course with the first tee right on the beach.

Santa Clara Golf Club is a new 18 hole par 71 course of 5878 metres, with fantastic views of the Sierra Nevadas.

Anoreta Golf has expanded to become a full 18 holes golf course, offering some extremely long par 4 and 5 holes with amazing sea views, and challenging water hazards – the green of the 17th hole is surrounded by water on three sides!

Availability in May and early June 2010 – book now to make sure you don’t miss out.

Renting a holiday home or a villa direct from an owner is often more economical for families or large groups of friends. It can even allow friends or family members on a tighter budget to join you on holiday. Say one group takes the master bedroom, and the other has the guest room, you can work out between you how to split the costs accordingly.

When you rent a villa from an owner abroad it also gives you more flexibility and freedom. When you choose to rent from owners direct, you get to choose what to eat, and when to eat it. You’re not tied down to set hotel menus and set meal times, and you won’t feel like you’re missing out on what you paid for if you decide to eat at a restaurant one night instead of cooking.

There’s also the added privacy of your own private villa or holiday home. No fighting for the best spot by the pool, because it’s already yours!

You don’t need to pack so much, as many of the modern day conveniences you’d expect to find at home will be right at hand. A quick laundry run will dry out in the sunshine in no time. You’ll have a fridge and a freezer to keep your cocktails as cool as you like.

When you rent holiday accommodation through owners direct, you deal directly with the owner. They will be able to advise you on what amenities are available in their property, and you can plan your trip accordingly.

We hope you find your dream holiday here at owners direct, and please do remember to leave a review and let others know about your experience!
