Almazara de Paulenca

Near Badlands of Purullena

Set amongst caves, almond and olive groves, we converted our 16th century farmhouse into a charming guesthouse. On 2 floors we have 8 double bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, 2 living rooms (one with an open fire) and a communal kitchen. Adjoining the house you can relax in our bodega. There are 3 terraces with fountains and an open air swimming pool in the summer to complete your stay. Alongside the house there is an 18th century olive oil mill which is open for guided tours. The original machinery is still in working order although only operated for purposes of demonstration. We are 55km from Granada, famous for the Alhambra, and 100km from the coast of Almeria. The surrounding area has seen many civilizations, amongst them Roman and Moorish. Evidence of this can be seen in the Roman ruins of Guadix and Arab baths in Graena for example. You will be fascinated by the lunatic landscape near Paulenca which is called the Badlands. Ideal for families and groups of friends.
