Property Description

If you looking for the no-frills, authentic experience of the Alpujarra of old, in a beautiful rural spot, this is the place.

the property

For peace and tranquillity, away from it all, Puerto Juviley is hard to beat. Life here in the tiny hamlet is lived much as it always has been. The villagers still plough their land with mules and the women do their washing in the river. There is no mains electricity, there are no shops or bars. The church opens once a year - for the fiesta of their patron saint. Walk along by the cane and bullrushes down by the river and you almost feel like you are in Mexico, rather than Spain.

entrance living room

This cottage used to be part of a "parador", or inn, catering to travellers along the Camino Réal (Royal Road) from Granada to Almería. Before motor roads were built - just before the Civil War - this pass was the only way through the mountains to the coast. Mules, horses and donkeys, sheep, goats and pigs on their way to market bedded down here for the night along with their owners.

from the distance

Fear not, you can choose your own bedfellows! The house itself is old and unpretentious, very simply furnished but clean, well-swept and with more character than a Cervantes classic. Lighting is by solar power and candles, but there is piped water, hot and cold, although you will still need to fetch drinking water from the spring by the river.

detail detail

The stairs are massive, not for anyone with wobbly legs, and in order to get to the second and third bedrooms upstairs, you will need to pass through the first bedroom. But here you will sleep well, the crickets singing down by the river to accompany your dreams.

living room

The one kilometre track down to Puerto Juviley is steep and winding, a bit eyebrow-raising in places but quite passable in an ordinary car. Parking is below the village and a steepish path leads up to the house. The English owners live a little further up the lane.

bedroom

Certainly not luxurious, but for anyone who enjoys the genuine atmosphere of an age almost forgotten, it's a lovable, delightful place. The terrace spaces are really nice and there is a wealth of nature and wonderful countryside all around to explore. Children love it, and adults too.
