Cueva Casteve

2 bed, 1 bath Galera cave home sleeps 5



Cuevacasteve, named after it's owners Carol & Steve Hancock is a beautiful two bed roomed cave house set on a picturesque hillside just ten minutes walk from the very Spanish Village of Galera. Galera has 2 small Supermarkets, 2 Bakeries, a Chemist, Doctor's Surgery, Museum and about 5 or 6 Bars and Restaurants.Galera is situated in an area surrounded by beauty and wildlife; Within a few kilometres drive you can see; Deserts, Green Valleys, Forests, Limestone Gorges, Castles, Lakes, Spring fed Swimming Pools complete with Fish. You can see Eagles fly overhead. Wild Boar also roam the area . One of the local tapas delicacies is Snails and when asked if they were fair game for the Hunters one Hunter replied; "No! la gente de Galera es tan reclinada que los caracoles consiguen lejos!" (Roughly translated; NO the people of Galera are so laid back that the Snails get away!) just outside Galera (1 kilometre) lies the amazing Castellón Alto; a bronze age settlement dating back to around 1600 BC.

In around one and a half hours you can be swimming in the Mediterranean Sea or exploring the incredible Alhambra Palace, Skiing on the pist near Granada (winter months obviously).
Or you could just chill out in the sun, swim in the Village Pool (July & August only), relax during siesta and then take in the enchanting night life to be found in the village, sample the local wine & tapas, with bottles of wine to take out for around €1.50, nothing back on the bottles I'm afraid. For more information on Scuba Diving contact me direct as I am a British Sub Aqua Club Advanced Instructor and have contacts out there, Spanish Dive permits are required to dive anywhere in Spain. For the more sadistic there is also the chance to witness the local Bull Fighting. Galera is about two and a half hours drive, on very good dual carriageway, from the airports of Malaga, Alicante and Almeria. There are also international airports at Murcia which is around one hour forty five minutes away, and Granada which is around one and a half hours.
