It was nice to be in a Spanish town that was not too commercial. The kids had a great time, enjoyed the pool, Jacuzzi and the beach. </p><p>Frances 18/08/07 &quot;We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, your home is extremely well equipped and a very comfortable base. We ate at the place you recommended to us on the front of the harbour ( Cafe Bocateria) and we had a take away paella one night from the bar at the end of the road. We also tried lots of other places to eat and had a few barbeques. Everything represented excellent value for money and the local people were very friendly. I can honestly say we didn't find there was anything missing from our stay, Casa Craven does represent excellent value for money. The pool and jacuzzi were well cleaned and maintained, we found some lovely beaches and liked the fact that it is still quite Spanish. I will certainly recommend it to others.&quot;</p><p>Michael 29/08/06 &ldquo;Just a note to say what a wonderful villa, it really felt like a home, the residential location, views and facilities really made it perfect for us.&rdquo; </p><p>Lee 25/08/06 &ldquo;With regards to the villa, wow! it is very very nice, you are lucky to have such a great location with great balcony sea views.

With more days of sunshine than other mainland areas and water temperatures higher than average it has become known as the Costa Calida &iuml;&iquest;&frac12; the Warm Coast.<br /><br />This section of coastline, boasts the attraction of Europe&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;s largest saltwater lagoon, the Mar Menor, that abounds with wildlife particularly at the Northern end of the lagoon which is home of thousands of flamingos during their Autumn migration. <br /><br /><strong>THE MAR MENOR, A FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH</strong><br /><br />The shallow waters and the absence of tides make the Mar Menor the ideal place for all types of water sports. It is a magnificent natural swimming pool with temperatures which are maintained by a sun that shines for an average of 320 days each year. This provides water temperatures in the winter months of 11C, which rises to 30C at the height of the summer. <br /><br /><strong>A PARADISE FOR NAUTICAL SPORTS</strong><br /><br />A short distance from Playa Honda in La Manga, are ten teaching centres which means that no one need travel far to practice the water sport of their choice.

They are located on the shores of the Mar Menor in ideal conditions.<br /><br />Scuba and deep-sea diving have seen a considerable increase in activity during the course of the past few years.

There are 18km of sandy beaches which are ideal for families as the water is calm, shallow and warm throughout the year. Perfect for participating in the many water sports on offer. There are also mud baths in the thermal waters at Lo Pagan located at the north of the Mar Manor. <br /> <br /> Walking is also very popular along the beach promenade, with plenty of cafes, tapas bars, palm trees and restaurants found along the beach front. <br /> The towns around the Mar Menor are small, bustling, traditional and lively, and the people who live there are very friendly and inviting. A day trip to Murcia City, (about 15 minutes drive) to visit some of the stunning historical places of interest, art and culture is a must. Likewise a visit to the ancient seaport of Cartagena, (20 minute drive) to stroll along the harbour and see ancient ruins is a wonderful family day out. Other wonderful cities to visit are Lorca and Caravaca de la Cruz, which is the 5th Holiest City in the World. <br /> <br /> The Mar Menor was &lsquo;created&rsquo; a little over 1000 years ago. Originally a safe little bay, offering shelter for even large ships, it became a natural lagoon when sediments from the sea built up on a small underwater mountain range and closed off the inlet with a sandbar. On its Western side is mainland Spain, and on its Eastern side is La Manga de Mar Menor, a strip of land, (known as The Strip), that is no more than 900 metres at its broadest point with views of the Mar Menor and Mediterranean.<br /> <br /> The climatic conditions of the Mar Menor, with a high number of hours of sun per year and its high salinity, have brought about the deposit, over the centuries, of clays for therapeutic treatment in various areas of the Mar Menor. The beaches are cleaned and combed every day, resulting in the awards of the E.U. Blue Flags for cleanliness and maintenance. In fact, the region was recently declared the cleanest area in Spain by the World Health Organisation. You can swim in the Mar Menor or minutes later swim in the Mediterranean. There are at least 315 days of sun per year with minimum temperatures ranging between 12-14C and maximum temperatures between 20-22C in winter. Summer temperatures vary between 18-20C minimum and between 30-35C maximum. The average annual temperature is 18C. <br /> There is also a New Water Park (Terra Aqua Murcia) and Animal park (Terra Natura Murcia) just 20 minutes away.<br /> <br /> The region is of course becoming more and more famous for its fabulous array of golf courses, and is now world renowned for its Jack Nicklaus Golf Trail, of which the Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort plays an integral part.</p> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort / Polaris World, Hacienda Riquelme area</span> <p>Hacienda Riquelme is a 5* resort built around an 18-hole par 72 golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus.<br /> <br /> The Nicholas Golf Trail is a circuit which includes 9 courses within a radius of 25km; some courses are yet to be opened.

We had a great time during our stay earlier this year. The finca is really well equipped and was just what we needed for a relaxing holiday. Our children Lauren and Samuel really enjoyed splashing around in the pool, and when the heat of the day got too much, they would sit under the carob tree and have ice lollies to cool down. Your caretakers Alun and Tish made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of information on the surrounding area. We are really looking forward to returning next year'. From: Richard and Sarah Martin, Northowram, Halifax. 2 October 2007.<br /> <br /> 'What a lovely time we had at the finca. It was perfect. Having everything you could need made it all the more special. The small touches such as the excellent music selection and DVDs were a welcome bonus, we played everything but the Christmas CDs'.

With more days of sunshine than other mainland areas and water temperatures higher than average it has become known as the Costa Calida; the Warm Coast.<br /><br />This section of coastline, boasts the attraction of Europe's largest saltwater lagoon, the Mar Menor, that abounds with wildlife particularly at the Northern end of the lagoon which is home of thousands of flamingos during their Autumn migration. <br /><br /><strong>THE MAR MENOR, A FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH</strong><br /><br />The shallow waters and the absence of tides make the Mar Menor the ideal place for all types of water sports. It is a magnificent natural swimming pool with temperatures which are maintained by a sun that shines for an average of 320 days each year. This provides water temperatures in the winter months of 11C, which rises to 30C at the height of the summer. <br /><br /><strong>A PARADISE FOR NAUTICAL SPORTS</strong><br /><br />A short distance from Playa Honda in La Manga, are ten teaching centres which means that no one need travel far to practice the water sport of their choice.

They are located on the shores of the Mar Menor in ideal conditions.<br /><br />Scuba and deep-sea diving have seen a considerable increase in activity during the course of the past few years.

Casa Lala is situated in the centre of Lucar, a very quiet, typical hill village near Tijola on the A334 and midway between the towns of Baza and Albox. Lucar now boasts a new bodega selling excellent wine from the region and has a good municipal swimming pool free to residents, open in July and August. Cela, a village nearby, has a fascinating large thermal pool open all year, surrounded by bars and restaurants. In Lucar itself are 2 well-stocked supermarkets, a bakery, chemists, doctor's surgery, butchers and several basic bar/restaurants, plus a small market every Friday. Beaches of the east coast, Vera and Mojacar, are an hour's drive or so and the south coast including Cabo da Gata, one and a half hours via a wonderful mountain route. Half an hour to the west, near Baza is a very popular lake. There are wonderful opportunities for walking and bird watching across the entire region. <br /><br /><span class="detailredhead">Accommodation</span> <div class="palepanel"><div class="palepanel_tr"><div class="palepanel_tl"><div class="palepanel_bl"><table border="0"><tbody><tr align="left" valign="top"><td width="23%"><strong>Bedrooms:</strong></td><td>Lovely twin bedded room with built-in wardrobe, bedside cabinets, chest.

The house is built into the hillside, so it is on many levels, with irregular steps, some quite large, and very low beamed ceilings.<br />However, this is its charm, and is what drew us to buy and renovate it. The full restoration has been achieved sensitively using typical, natural and local materials with original wooden beams throughout. Modern conveniences provide the best of both worlds. There is a good supply of olive wood logs for the open fire to keep you cosy in the colder months and air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer.<br />Outside, the large south-facing private patio has both shade and sun all day long. Pots and planted areas enhance the patio and are irrigated with an automatic system - plus a watering can for you to use! The views are incredible. We never tire of them!<br />No smoking or pets please, but please feed the little cat that comes to the kitchen window (we'll send details).</p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Amenities/Facilities provided</span> <div class="palepanel"><div class="palepanel_tr"><div class="palepanel_tl"><div class="palepanel_bl"><ul><li>ceramic hob/stove,</li><li>oven,</li><li>fridge,</li><li>washing machine,</li><li>iron/ironing board,</li><li>air conditioning</li><li>heating</li><li>open wood fire</li><li>books, games, maps, etc</li></ul></div></div></div></div><p class="clear">&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Accessibility</span><br />Foot access to the house is down a slope or along a narrow street from abundant close roadside parking. A very small car can reach the property where there is a small parking space, but it is not for the faint-hearted! The streets were built for people and donkeys, not cars!<br />Outside areas need treating with considerable caution, as there are some steep drops and many steps throughout the village and close to the house.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Outside</span><br />The good sized private patio area is accessed from the kitchen and also the dining area. It has a table, 5 chairs, two comfortable loungers and 3 outside lights - chat over a glass or two of local wine on balmy evenings, we do! There is also an outside tap, a washing line and small store of wood. The first floor tiled terrace is accessed from the main bedroom. At the front is a gravelled area with some plants and more firewood.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Coast/Beach</span><br />Vera beach, including a naturist section, is about one hour's drive east. Garrucha, a fishing village with good seafood restaurants is close by. Further south is Mojacar pueblo and beach. <br />About one and a half hour's drive south over the mountains are Roquetas de Mar and Aguadulce with good beaches, promenades and restaurants. <br />To the east of Almeria near Cabo de Gata is a very long and quiet beach accessed via wooden walkways, with clear water. Other quiet bays are to be found in the area.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Golf</span><br />The most well-known course is 'Desert Springs', near to Vera - about an hour's drive.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Skiing</span><br />Those flying via Granada or Malaga may wish to visit the Sierra Nevada ski resorts. From Lucar it will take you at least 2 hours to drive there.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Travel</span><br />Car hire is essential and details can be provided.<br />Nearest airports are Almeria and Granada, which are used by low-cost airlines. Both are one and a half hours drive or so on good, quiet roads. We provide very clear directions.<br />Granada is served by Ryanair from London and Liverpool; Monarch from London. Almeria is served by Easijet from Stanstead and Monarch from Manchester. Malaga is about 2 and a half hours drive, with flights from almost every airport in the UK. Other airports within striking distance are Murcia and Alicante.<br />Please ask for our detailed travel information. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Distances</span><br />Granada is the most significant city within reach - about an hour and a half by car, through wonderful mountains and plateaux on good roads. On the way is Guadix, famous for its cave dwellings. In Granada the Alhambra is not to be missed and the old city centre is definitely worth exploring - sit in one of the many squares to enjoy a drink, free tapas and watch the world go by.<br />Mini Hollywood, of 'Spagetti Western' fame is about an hour's drive south over the mountain road, close to Tabernas.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Further details</span><br />Take a step back in time! In Lucar some people still use donkeys to work on the land returning at the end of the day laden with fodder. There are springs where drinking water is collected, cave houses, herds of goats and sheep to listen out for, exquisite almond and orange blossom in the Spring, olive groves, delicious figs and flame coloured pomegranates. The dried-up river-beds or 'ramblas' are used by walkers and drivers alike and a talc mine trail passes by Lucar - still for our exploration!<br />The excellent municipal swimming pool in Lucar, open in July and August is free of charge and has a life guard. There is a good pool bar open all year serving tapas and cheap basic meals. The pool at Cela, nearby, also free, is very popular, particularly in the summer. It has several bars and restaurants serving a variety of food at very good prices. <br />Just outside Lucar is the new bodega selling inexpensive wine from the 'Alto Almanzora' region. Tastings are available at any time during opening hours and tours can be booked for 5 euros each which includes many tastings and a free bottle to take away.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tijola is the nearest small town, 10 minutes by car. It has all the usual banks, shops and services, plus a good Saturday market. Baza to the west and Albox to the east along the A334 are half an hour's drive away. Both have large Mercadona supermarkets (brilliant seafood) and excellent outdoor markets. The closest main supermarket is at Olula del Rio, 20 minutes by car.<br />We have information and maps with details of Casa Lala, Lucar and the surrounding area, an inventory and full directions, available elecronically via email or by post.<br />Lucar and other local villages are perfect starting points for walks, bird watching, etc. There are several excellent locations for watching the more exotic birds found in the region, eg Salinas at Cabo de Gata and Roquetas de Mar - many species of waders and wildfowl including flamingo, stilt, avocet, etc. Locally we have many species such as golden oriole, bee-eater, black redstart, black wheatear, hoopoe, etc.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Booking notes</span><br />A &pound;50 deposit is required to secure your booking, with the balance payable 6 weeks before departure. No security deposit is required, but we expect tenants to pay for any breakages or damage. A full inventory is provided for this purpose and also so that you know what we are providing - almost everything you will need, bar clothing and toiletries! Discounts for longer stays and extra days.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold" class="detailredhead">Guest comments</span><br />'...the house is a treasure; lovingly restored and nestled in unassumingly among its neighbours. No-where must lend itself better to getting to know the 'real' Spain. We've had a fantastic and memorable trip - thank you Alan and Jenny!' (The Woods)<br />'...we were immediately enfolded in the levels, charm and spaces of the old house - each as varied as the angles of the beams above. And then, to open the shutters and walk out onto the terraces, it was a truly Almerian welcome!... All so thoughtfully created and brought to perfection.' (David) <br />'Casa Lala is a gorgeous place; have had a lovely restful stay; thank you for making Casa Lala SO comfortable' (Ruth and Suzanne)<br />'Only three days - too little time in such a wonderful place, and yet enough to realise what attracted Alan and Jenny to it. We felt relaxed and 'at home' as soon as we walked through the door. We hope to come back for a longer stay next year.'

Within Estepona you can find a Traditional old style Andalusian pueblo. But you&rsquo;ll also find a thoroughly modern tourist aimed town. Here is a town that maintains its rustic charm whilst still providing a holiday haven. That has, unfortunately become a rare thing.
