Location description
In the province of Granada, this mountainside village was voted in the top 10 ‘most beautiful views of a town’ in the world by National Geographic. As you arrive in Montefrio you will understand why! Montefrío is a small town (pueblo) located 45 minutes north west from the city centre of Granada. It is conveniently located for travel between the provinces of Granada, Córdoba and Jaén. At around 2,750ft above sea level, the Castillo de La Villa sits at the highest point. This 15th century fortress offers spectacular panoramic views of the town and surrounding area. There is plenty to see in the ‘pueblo’ including the Iglesia de La Encarnacion (the only round church in Spain), the Iglesia del Convento, original cave houses, Roman fountains and the archaeological site, Peñas de Los Gitanos. There are many festivals (fiestas) throughout the year which includes the month long festival in August – La Fiesta Patronales de Agosto!
Other activities
The city of Granada is about 45 minutes away by car and is definitely worth a visit whilst staying at Huerta Pequeña. With a variety of things to see and do the city is an ideal destination for a day trip or even just an afternoon or evening. At the highest point of the city is the famous Alhambra Palace and gardens (book early to avoid disappointment). The city is awash with historic buildings and traditional architecture with a mix of Spanish and Moorish influences. Walk around the city through the covered (in summer) streets or discover little tapas bars in the maze of alleys and side streets that surround the Cathedral. Enjoy lunch in one of the many restaurants in the city’s squares or take an early evening meal whilst looking at the Alhambra and its changing colour as the sun fades. There is a bus service from Montefrío operated by Alsa.
