What you will love about this home
- A great spot to fight the winter blues or to escape from the city heat in summer.
- Authentic Andalousian village surrounded by mountains, valley and orchards. Hiking, canoying, paragliding, kayaking, snorkelling, swimming and...strolling and siestas!
- Full equipped family house, it has been our home during the last 4 years.
- Conveniently located between Granada (Alhambra 1 hour drive), Málaga (airport 1.15 minutes drive) and Almuñécar seaside town (18 minutes drive/2 daily buses Monday-Friday)
*******This is our main home but we often rent somewhere else nearby during the school term. Hence the flex and availability for hosting. Our calendar is reliable. Minimum 4 nights, we put lot of effort and enthusiasm in having people over, we love this!
We discovered "Costa Tropical" a few years ago when we were looking to buy a house in Spain and we fell in love with the area. Our place is a typical narrow house spread on 3 levels, being the highest point the terrace with concertina glass doors and fantastic views to the mountain (see basic croquis on photos). We partially refurbished it to make it more practical but keeping its quirkyness and personality. It is a work in progress, tha house is not perfect! That said, it has been our main home during the last 4 years and it has all the necessary equipment for a long stay. The stairs can be challenging for some people and dangerous for very young children (see pictures).
We love to have people at this place that we consider our home and to share our experiences.

Otívar is small and authentic andalusian village conveniently located between the mountain (Sierra de Tejeda, Alhama and Almijara) and the sea.
The Med coast is 18 Kms far away, with wonderful hidden beaches and busier ones during the summer time. Near the village you can practice paragliding, cicliyng or just to stroll surrounded by avocado, mango and apple custard orchards.
You can also enjoy a day ski trip to Sierra Nevada (1 hour 20 minutes). Granada town is within 55 minutes drive, Malaga approximately 1 hour. It is also 3 and a half hours from Sevilla or Ronda, if you want to explore more.
The village has a couple of shops to provide the basics, a pharmacy, an open swimming pool (summer) and a couple of restaurants. There are 2 daily buses to the nearest biggest town (Almuñécar) but a car is recommended to fully enjoy. We mignt be able to also to offer our family car for long (and reciprocal) stays.
It is a great spot to fight the winter blues. Not a touristy postal card but an authentic environment. There are old style hippy expats, local residents and others who come back during the weekend to see their granny... Ideally located so you can travel within the day for city trips or to practice nearby sea and mountain sports.

Additional information
- The house can have up to 6 people (like 3 couples, as we have 3 double beds) but it is more comfortable for only 4 people (or a couple and 2 kids) and that would be our preference.
- It is child friendly but NOT FOR TODDLERS or crawling babies, due to the stairs.
- We prefer to have guests for a longer period (we do reduced points). That way get the chance to know one each other in person, even with GP option.
