Set deep in the heart of the mountain range of Sierra de la Almijara, between Granada (1 hours drive) and the ‘tropical coast’ (20 mins drive), with nearest airport (Malaga) at a convenient 1h 20 minutes drive. Otivar is the perfect place from which to explore unspoilt countryside within a stone’s throw of the crystal clear blue waters of the Costa Tropical.
The house is situated in the old part of the village made up of picturesque pedestrian narrow streets. This charming 100-year-old property which has been painstakingly restored by its owners to a typical andalucian rustic-style cottage, accommodates up to 4 people.
Otivar is also a convenient base from which to explore the area or undertake organised sporting or cultural activities. For sightseers there is the unforgettable city of Granada or any of the white mountain villages which dot the hillsides everywhere, especially those found in the spectacular Alpujarra mountains less than 1 hour’s drive from Otivar.
A trip to the coast down through the verdant Tropical Valley, a richly cultivated area full of exotic fruit orchards, will bring you to Almuñécar. This local market town is worth a visit for its Moorish castle, botanical gardens and Roman monuments such as the aqueduct. To the east lies Salobreña, a picturesque white village surrounded by sugar cane fields and crowned with another impressive Arab fortress. While to the west can be found Nerja, home to one of the largest cave systems in the country and the tallest stalactite pillar in the world.
