Hello/Hola, my holiday in India now seems a very long time ago so I am now looking foward to enjoying yet another blue sky summer here in southern Spain. The Lecrin Valley in Andalucia is one of Spain's hidden gems. The valley is beginning to turn lush and green due to the recent rains which have left the it fully refreshed and ready to produce yet another amazing crop of oranges and lemons. But what I really enjoy is meeting my many guests who come to stay in my house in Saleres.
The only noise for miles around is the sound of the river below the house, the birds and of course the occasional mule as they contentedly graze. The valley is ideal for walkers, cyclists, and skiers as the Sierra Nevada is about 50 minutes drive away and the coast 30 minutes away. Like the Taj Mahal in India, no visit to Granada would be complete without a visit to the 'Alhambra Palace' where there is exquisite art work of varying forms and breathtaking gardens. Where else can you go skiing in the morning and then enjoy a sumptuous meal and a cool glass of wine at one of the many upmarket restuarants overlooking the mediterranean. In a busy world where there are few unspoilt places left I have never become tired of the peace and quiet which always restores me. If you want to see for yourself what you are missing visit http://www.rentinruralspain.iowners.net/and maybe I will be able to meet you too. Adios.
