Almond Reef Accommodation delightfully restored apartment, quiet, rural village.

Situated in a quiet rural hamlet near Sorbas, in the region of Andalucia, Almeria Spain and nestled beneath the craggy cliffs of an ancient fossil reef, are the villages and hamlets of Cariatiz. Our restored Cortijo is situated in the tiny, sleepy hamlet that is Los Josefos. Here our neighbors still bake bread in the traditional domed bread oven and farm almonds like generations before them. Los Josefos is a short walk from the white painted village square of Los Alias. There you will find a small geological museum, Church and a tiny village school. The square also serves as the school playground, meeting place and venue of the village s three day fiesta at the end of August.

Set amongst tranquil almond, olive, orange and lemon trees one of the first things you will notice is the clearness of the air. Almost the only sounds that can be heard are those of the bird song and goats bells.

This is a great base for exploring the rich wildlife, birds and flora of eastern Andalucia.

Because of its rural location and because it is at the foot of the Sierra de Los Filabres many birds and flowers can be seen in the immediate vicinity. There are also a number of diverse habitats to explore on easy day trips. The only true desert in Europe at Tabernas, high mountains of the Sierra Nevada and coastal salt lagoons, steppe and volcanic hills of Cabo de Gata are just a few.
