On the referral of a hotel manager in Granada, we decided to book a stay at Casa Rural El Paraje in Burchules, in the Alpujarra region. What a gem of a referral this turned out to be. Firstly, our hosts, Brenda and Philip spoke 4 languages including English. Then they had some magnificent high altitude local wines that were phenomenal!... More

Breakfast can be taken on the terrace with a view over rollling hills, there are vines, tomato plants, almond trees and a totally relaxing atmosphere.

What a fantastic location, lovely house, great weather and superb hosts. We enjoyed five days at Casa Rural El Paraje.

There are good walks direct from... More

We were well looked after by our friendly hosts who provide excellent simple accommodation. We had lovely walks exploring the irrigated farms perched around the baranca. Our stay coincided with the feast of San Marcos which added much local colour. Bruce and... More
