about the house
Casa de Becque nestles in the heart of the Sierra Cabrera mountains, in a hamlet of about 7 houses, in the province of Almeria, southern Spain, 3 km from the small village of Cabrera, which has a wealth of Moroccan-style architecture, with an abundance of minarets and Moorish arches.
We are 10 minutes from the village of Turre, which has a very good supermarket, a Friday street market, selling locally grown fruit and vegetables, flowers, and plants, along with all the usual souvenirs, clothes, beachwear etc. It also has many bars and restaurants to suit every pocket!
We are 15 minutes from the popular town of Mojacar, which is famed for its charming hillside setting, quaint narrow streets, and Moorish archways, which date back to about 1450. Mojacar also has miles of sandy beaches and some very good beach bars.
We are 45 minutes from Almeria airport, and two and a half hours from Alicante airport, and can arrange transport from either. Almeria airport handles flights from Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle and Leeds with Jet2, and Dublin with Ryanair.
Murcia airport is about one and a quarter hours drive along the new toll road, and this airport handles even more regional flights. Casa de Becque stands amidst stunning mountain scenery, and the silence is only broken by the sound of goat bells in the valley below, and the birdsong.
The local flora and fauna includes poppies, iris, wild herbs, and mimosa in the Spring. Being on the migration route from Africa to northern Europe, there is a multitude of bird species includingblack wheatear, Sardinian warbler, redstarts, pied flycatchers, little egrets, booted eagles, swifts, swallows, martins, hoopoes, red-legged partridge, nightjars, larks, bee-eaters, hawks, owls, and ibis, many of which are permanent residents. Tortoises are indigenous to this part of Spain and in the valley below live wild boar and foxes.
On the short drive from the motorway, you will pass herb farms, see the shepherds with their flocks of sheep and goats, travel through orange and lemon groves, and see olive, almond, and fig trees growing.In the past four years, the house has been sympathetically renovated, and we can now offer 3 double or twin bedrooms, all with private bathrooms and french windows opening onto charming terraces, complete with cane furniture, grapevines and jasmine, wisteria, passionflowers, and other semi-tropical flowers.
All rooms have spectacular views.
