El Sarük

Phew! Temperatures are scorchio in Andalusia right now, so lucky the sea is only half an hour away, and El Sarük has such a beautiful cool interior and shady courtyard garden to retreat to when you’ve had enough of the sunshine.

Summer days, for lounging under the parasol, chilling in the courtyard or dining under the vine…Devine!

Gorgeous view from the single bedroom, of the garden and mountain. Thanks for the photo taken by a guest in May. The weather was idyllic and everything looking beautiful as always. Roll on summer!

With summer now under way at El Sarük, it’s always good to know where you can get a cooling drink or a bite to eat in and around Nigüelas. The bars and restaurants all have their own style, and opening times. Luckily this year we have this handy guide. Terraza La Erilla is a lovely new cafe/bar/restaurant situated right on the edge of the gorge with fabulous views and really good food
- a great addition to the many appealing possibilities we’re lucky enough to have in Nigüelaa.

Dates for the Artisanal Market at Alqueria de Los Lentos, the first Saturday of each month and a great event, so much more than a market- not to be missed!

Sharing is caring…the chocolate croissants from the bakery are so big maybe half is enough? Or maybe not! Either way, our roof terrace is a great place to start your day.

What a view! Imagine walking back to El Sarük from the bakery, a fresh loaf under your arm. The mountain crowned with some of the recent snow. Blues skies, sunshine, and a lovely warm day down in the village. There’s beauty at every turn around Nigüelas.

Oranges and clementines home grown at El Sarük, a neighbour’s lemons, and limes from the shop! A tangy, sweet and zesty cornucopia of Andalusian sunshine all in one bowl.

With winter arriving it’s good to know you can toast your toes with a fantastic supply of seasoned local olive wood to dig into.

Wherever you lay your hat, you’ll feel at home…

Did a bit of a transformation job last week - from an office room to a comfy single bedroom. So we can now accommodate six people 😎

The joy of staying at El Sarük in November: right now, blue skies, mid twenties heat, and the opportunity to pick fresh oranges straight from our tiny tree! Delicious fruit or juice as fresh as it gets. Gin and orange anyone?

As we feel the winter starting to set in in other countries, there’s still beautiful sunshine and heat waiting for you at El Sarük, with current temperatures around 30 degrees. Some dates are still available in October, including half term week. Why not?

The stunning canyon of the Barranco de Luna is a mere 20 minutes drive from El Sarük and is a beautiful afternoon’s adventure for anyone who likes the idea of wading and scrambling up the river. Be sure to go with appropriate footwear (not flip flops) and be prepared to get a little wet! A great way to escape the heat.

The Nigüelas Festival is the absolute best time to be there with constant events and music in the square and streets, as well as wonderful weather. Surprisingly we currently have availability from 10th September over the rest of this period! Oooh, possibilities…just sayin’😘

Right now it’s all about outdoor living. The perfect place to eat, drink, relax, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful community project creating a lovely shaded area on the Church Square in Nigüelas this summer.

Desde hace unos días los transeúntes del paseo de la Plaza de la Iglesia de Nigüelas disfrutan de un cielo colorido resultado del trabajo artesanal y altruista de las componentes de la Asociación de Mujeres “La Razuela”. Se trata de una obra textil colectiva, elaborada con piezas de ganchill...

Hehehe I caught myself in the shot when I was taking the pics of our chilled out double room.

Recent developments for the summer. A fresh look for our twin room with en-suite. Adding a bit of luxury with the classic Spanish bed head, given a contemporary treatment. And the convenience of plugs with USB charging points at each side.

There’s been a lot of work going on at El Sarük recently. Lots of things to make the house work better, look better and if that’s possible, be an even more lovely place to stay. We’ve been repainting indoors and out, finding unique pieces of furniture for the rooms, sorting out electrics (there are now a number of plugs with USB charging points), upgrading utilities, putting up art work and generally giving the house a lot of love. New photos to come soon!

So joyful when the garden starts emerging from winter in glorious technicolour. Lots of orange blossom smelling lovely, and promising a better yield for our little tree than last year when La Calima affected fruit in the region very badly. Luckily no repeat of that this year! And the peach tree is looking as if this year will be a really good one too.

Throwback to early February when signs of spring were making themselves felt with the beautiful almond blossom in full flower around the Valley.

Lovely spots to hang out and take in the views from the top of the house

The garden looking gorgeous 😍
