Focus on Los Velez
We not only love the area of Los Velez, we also chose it to be our forever home.
We originally moved to Spain slightly nearer to the coast, thinking we would be spending a lot of time at the beach. The reality is-we didn’t. We would go to a nice coffee shop and enjoy the views occasionally.
When we saw a country home needing renovations a little bit further inland, we both instantly fell in love. Not only with the property, but the local area also sounded stunning. There is so much history here, also climate benefits-having less humidity in the summer- an important factor when looking to relocate to Southern Spain.
Los Velez is located in the area of Almeria close to the border to Murcia, under an hour’s drive from the popular coastal towns of Mojacar and Aguilas. We are also blessed to be fairly close to the picturesque Lake Negratin with the natural Spas in Zujar.
Velez Rubio-offers all facilities-including Velez Stores on the industrial estate- where you can purchase UK products and use as a postal address.
Let’s explore the towns from our personal point of view
Velez Rubio
Bring your Spanish dreams to life in the beautiful area of Los Vélez- including the towns of Vélez Rubio, Vélez Blanco & Chirivel. All the surrounding towns offer quite impressive scenery Velez Blanco- having its own Castle that sits proudly in the mountains overlooking the valleys.
Have you seen the Indalo man on your travels in the region, this is a symbol of good luck and safekeeping. The original drawings can still be seen in the caves near Vélez Blanco/Vélez Rubio. The Indalo man is now recognized as the official symbol of Almeria- the is one important rule to follow- you cannot buy an Indalo man keepsake for yourself-they have to be gifted to you. The symbol itself is said to represent a human holding a rainbow overhead. Originally, the symbol was painted on the front of your property to protect them from evil. You can find many decorations now including the popular symbol.
Vélez Rubio is ranked in the top 10 places to visit in Southern Spain to enjoy the local celebrations and fiestas. We highly recommend enjoying one of the restaurants in the Plaza De La Encarnacion in Vélez Rubio or embrace the spectacular views enjoying a morning coffee at the Hotel Velad Al Abyadh in Vélez Blanco. The town has a great market on Saturdays- offering locally grown fruit & veg, a good selection of clothing too. There are also over 50 restaurants and bars for your entertainment. The area offers vast outdoor activities all year round- hiking, biking & trekking.
The beautiful Lake Negratin is not far away offering water sports and natural spas for your pure relaxation. Zujar offers natural spas too.
The small village of Fuente Grande is set within beautiful surroundings. The habitants are of various generations, including young families. The village centre piece is the pretty church. The villagers and locals come together every August to enjoy and celebrate the villages fiestas. There is even a playground near the church, and the schools of the local towns run bus transfers for the children.
