Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Les & Audrey Blair
Les and Audrey live at Paraíso Rural.
Les was born and raised in Guyana and Audrey is from the south of Ireland. We met in Grantham, Lincolnshire where Les was a mechanical engineering apprentice with Aveling Barford and Audrey was doing her State Registered Nurse training. Subsequently we moved to London and then to Cambridge.
We have a son, daughter and granddaughter, they live in England so we are back and forth from time to time.
We sold our home in Cambridge to move to a property on the Málaga Cordoba border near lake Iznajar however this purchase fell through. We were then homeless and spent some time with Les' sister in the French Pyrenees, house and dog sat for friends in Bagnères-de-Bigorre (also in the Pyrenees) and rented a casita in the Axarquía region of Málaga.
Whilst in Axarquía we viewed over 40 properties across the length and breadth of Andalucía. Some of these properties were in the Alpujarras, a region on the south facing slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Granada Province.
We first visited the Alpujarras in the summer of 2009 and were blown away by the beauty of the area. In our Christmas "round-robin" we suggested it as a possibility for retirement!
La Luna (now called Paraíso Rural) was on our shortlist. We knew from our first viewing that this property was rather special and it ticked all the boxes for being our home and providing an income from holiday rentals.

What makes this property unique
The secure and private Rural Paradise complex offers all the facilities to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. There is easy access via a winding tarmac road and ample concrete off-road parking within the complex accessed via an electric gate.
The accommodation area has an Honesty Bar co-located with the Games Room. Behind Alcazaba is a utility room where washing machines, irons and ironing boards, vacuum cleaners, mops and buckets, etc. are available for guests to use.
The accommodation area is separated from the pool area by a locked door for the protection and security of children. Through this door you enter a traditional Andalucían courtyard and from here to the swimming pool via a palm lined pathway stepping down past the Turtle Pond.
The pool area absorbs you into its tropical magic with gorgeous palm, orange and olive trees and wonderful flowers. The Moroccan Day Bed captures the imagination of distant times, the lion keeping a watchful eye. The Turtle Pond provides a pleasant distraction. The Giant's Seat is a great vantage point to enjoy your surroundings. The Summer House hosts another Honesty Bar and provides occasional seating where you can relax in the shade. Alternatively, use one of the beautiful Balinese parasols next to your sun bed.
WiFi is available around the swimming pool.
Each accommodation includes an Information Pack with local information and a Welcome Pack.
