| Where
we live
We live in a detached country house in a small community of Spanish houses although we have English neighbours living closeby who will be happy to meet you and talk with you during your stay. Our house is split and you will have plenty of privacy as well as being able to spend lots of time with the family.
You will
sleep downstairs in one of two bedrooms. You will have use of a full sized
bathroom which will be your own (if you are the only student staying)
or shared if you are coming with a friend. There is a separate lounge/dining area where there is a TV with English satellite TV, video and DVD player, as well as a stereo. Our eldest daughter also lives downstairs, so is on hand for any immediate problems.
We live 45kms from the largest town Baza which is typically Spanish although you will be able to enjoy English food in a local bar if you wish to do so. They have a market on a Wednesday morning. Huescar is 20kms from Castril to the east and is a fairly large town where you can buy most products you need. They have a good market on a Thursday morning. Pozo alcon is to the west of us and holds a market on a Monday. We live in
a natural park which is described as untouched, with rugged landscapes
and spectacular scenery it is an area of natural beauty. There is very
little commercial tourism here and the area remains very natural. Cazorla
which is better known for it's natural park lies approximately 1 hour
from Castril, up in the mountains and a drive is always worthwhile dependent
upon the weather. |
