The Pueblo Villas are based on the precise shapes of the old individual field houses, the traditional 'casas del campo' of The Almanzora Valley, reflecting the heritage of tradition.
There was a tremendous growth of these in the 19th century countryside to house the enormous increase in field workers, working to feed the new mining communities. Sadly, many of these homes have now disappeared back into rubble and soil from which they were built, but if you look carefully you can see their ruins everywhere in the local landscape.
They started with a simple rectangular construction, with thick walls, buttressed corners and a flat roof. As the family grew, a mono-pitch roofed bedroom was added above, where it was cooler, and, if the money continued to come in, then another room was added above, with a roof 'a cuatro aguas'.
The modern Pueblo Villas are of course built with all mod cons, with large terraces and pergolas in their own private gardens, but in clusters sharing beautiful individually landscaped gardens and swimming pools in semi-closed communities, with all the cost benefits implied. They are very tranquil and private.
The option to continue with the rustic style inside with natural 'rollizo' beams and solid natural wood features, a cottage fireplace, traditional style joinery, terracotta floors and traditional tiling, or alternatively to finish the interior in the style of a contemporary home with modern appeal is provided.
They all have large terraces at first floor level and a separate garage.
Desert Springs Resort is located in Cuevas del Almanzora and Vera, the Almeria region of Andalucía, south-east Spain.
The Almanzora has a true desert climate… Sunny, warm and dry in winter, in summer hot inland, but cooler on the coast and on the plateau of Desert Springs Resort. It is a fact that the Almanzora enjoys the warmest, sunniest and driest winter of the whole of the coast of Spain and Europe. Sun drenched family holidays in Spain and long golf weekends are available at all times of year, including suntans from September to May!
It is only 50 minutes drive from the Almeria International Airport. Alicante and Murcia airports are also an economic option and easy drive.
