Moclin Hideaway

For a holiday in the hills just north of Granada, try Moclin, a beautiful, quiet, traditional village, nestling in groves of olive and almond trees. The Guardian 'Hidden Spain' gave the village an excellent write-up in January 2007.

34 Calle Real (Royal Road) is a large, sensitively modernised village house. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a quiet courtyard and a roof terrace with brilliant views of the Sierra Nevada in the distance.

Moclin suits all types of holiday: quiet (the only 9.30 am noise is the village bread van arriving); walking (easy to follow routes down into the valleys); lively (2 bars in the village, Granada nearby with huge nightlife); historic - Granada and the Alhambra, the Albeicin (old Arab quarter) and you can also take the old Caliphate route to Cordoba with its historic Moorish castles along the N432.

We are only 1 hour away from the ski slopes, so you can combine your interests in the winter!

For nature lovers Moclin and the surrounding area offer amazing views of wildlife. Over 90 species of birds have been recorded on a recent visit including Hoopoe, Azure Winged Magpie, Chough, Alpine Swift, Turtle Dove, Lesser Kestrel, Woodchat Shrike and Booted Eagle.
