Spanish Culture
The location of Villa Estrella del mar is just perfect. Spectacular vistas of the Mediterranean, various beaches nearby, snowcapped mountains and surrounded by Spanish culture.
In the city of Granada, just 45 minutes away, you will find the Alhambra and a charming historical center.
The Alhambra is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada and once you have visited the place you will understand how strong the Moorish impact on Spain over many centuries has been. This place is the eight wonder of the world, overlooking Granada, against the backdrop of snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountain peaks. The Alhambra is simply put the most spectacular monument in Andalusia.

The Albayzin is an old Moorish quarter, where you can smell the old atmosphere of Arabian bazars with merchants, shops, little restaurants and many students from Spain and hippies from all over the world.
We enjoy the scenic views from Plaza San Nicolas, from where you can admire the Alhambra.
Stroll through the streets, stop for a drink with tapas and listen to the sounds of street musicians, stand up comedians, merchants and Spanish families debating with each other.
The concept of quality time gets a totally different meaning in this historical place.
