On a clear day you can even see the Moroccan coast.
Biggest part of the domain consists of mandeltrees (hence the name Los Almendros) which, in bloom (januari - march), deliver a beautiful white spectacle.
The house itself sits on the border of the national parc of Tejeda, in between a few pueblos blancos (Canillas de Albaida (4 km), Competa (7 km), Salares (6,5 km)) and only 21 km from the coast.

Great property, we had a lovely time. Amazing views, great house and fantastic pool and pool area. You will need a car as it is not near anywhere but there are some good walks direct from the property (you will need walking shoes). We had a great time and would highly recommend.Hosts were great

Los Almendros really is a piece of paradise! An amazing villa in a wonderful location. I don’t think the photos do it justice, it’s hard to take in the beautiful surroundings! We had a brilliant stay; the villa provided everything we needed, plenty of space for two adults and two teenagers and the outside areas and pool were more than we could’ve asked for. Apart from relaxing at the villa, we visited Torrox, Sedella, Competa and walked the lovely route to Salares where there is a wonderful restaurant/bar. Thank you Gunter & Michelle for sharing your wonderful home and allowing us to make great memories there! xx
