Activities:
Lubrin
is located about 1 hour cross country from Almeria Airport or 2 hours motorway/cross
country from Alicante or Murcia Airports. The village is very Spanish and
nestles high in the Sierra Los Filabres some 2000 feet above the well known
beach resorts of Mojacar and Garrucha which are just 45 minutes away.
The
more Spanish resorts of San Juan Torres and Aquilas (to the North) and
Carboneras, Agua Marga and San Jose ( to the South) are about an hour away.
These Spanish resorts, in Summer, are very much less crowded, especially
mid-week, than Mojacar and Garrucha.
Places
of Interest include Cuevas de Almanzora for its cave houses and Tabernas
for its magnificent Desert National Park. At Tabernas is a Western Theme
park on the site of the Clint Eastwood Movies!
The
ancient Andalusian city of Almeria (1 hour away) lies sheltered at the
base of a bay, proudly dominated by the amazing Alcazaba, a huge Moorish
citadel with three walled enclosures dating from 995. From the citadel
visitors have a good view of the citys most impressive and important Christian
monument, the Cathedral, dating from 1524, designed more like a fortress
than a church because of the need to defend it from pirate attacks.
The
Cathedral contains numerous art treasures, including a tabernacle dating
from the 18th century, designed by Ventura Rodriguez. With its interesting
medieval architecture, Almerias old town is a delight to stroll through
with its tranquil squares, archways and colonnades. The city also has a
fascinating archaeological museum and unique cave dwellings in the hillside
above the old gypsy quarter.
Granada,
Sierra Nevada and the Alpuharras are just over 2 hours away and the skiing
and walking seasons adds another dimension to life in Lubrin. Andalucia
also offers such cultural gems as Seville, Cordoba and Cadiz which are
no more than 4 hours away by car. Malaga is about 3 hours away for those
persons bent on a real Costa.
