Description

Isn't it time to try something different - all the home comforts you're used to - but with a twist?

Forget everything you've ever read or heard about caves being damp and smelly. The cave houses in Galera and surrounding villages and towns have been lived in by the Spanish for many generations and offer a wonderful way of life that's simple but with everything you'd expect from 21st century living.......we even have broadband and mobile signals and not a damp patch in sight!

The minute you step inside this cool, welcoming cave house, you will forget the stresses and irritations of your day to day life! You will feel your cares just fall away as you enjoy your first welcoming cuppa (or a glass of Spain's finest red....or white!)

Situated in the historical and beautiful white village of Galera in the province of Granada, in southern Spain, Cueva Caballo cave house offers the best in bed and breakfast accommodation.

The lovely village of Galera has everything you are likely to need in terms of banks, post office, bars and restaurants - there is also a doctor's surgery and pharmacy.

During the peak summer months, the eco friendly casa cueva offers a welcome relief after a day out in the hot sun as it maintains a cool 22 degrees without the need for airconditioning; during winter, when temperatures can really drop (yes, we get snow!), the log burner is all you need to warm you up as you relax with a good book or the 'soaps' on Satellite TV. All this, along with the tranquility of the area, means that you will probably have some of the best night's sleep of your life! Take a look at the photo gallery to give an idea of what to expect.

Something that will soon occur to you as soon as you arrive - the silence. Because of where Cueva Caballo is situated in Galera, atop a hill about 15 minutes walk from the village centre, there is no traffic noise and few people. You may hear the occasional cock crowing or donkey neighing but apart from that, most of the time, you could be the only people on the planet!

A short walk to the village however, will provide all the company you want as the local Spanish residents fill the streets with their chatter and natural exuberance - except during siesta time (2pm - 5pm), when the streets become silent for a few hours during the long hot day. At fiesta time in July/August, Galera becomes a party village when the local people have their families come to stay for a couple of weeks to join in with the festivities. Join in with the merrymaking and you will have an unforgettable experience. The village square becomes a dancehall, theatre, cinema and gathering place as entire families from babies to octogenarians gather until the small hours. There's no better place to people watch!
