Village house: 'casa Angeles'- Typical Andalusian House In A Quiet Village

Salares is a small white Andalusian village with Moorish origins. The Moors built a small fortress in the village, of which one of the towers remains, near the church, forming part of the house called Del Torreón. The church is built on the site of an arab mosque and the tower, decorated with mudejar motifs, was once the minaret. Salares is an excellent location for discovering this beautiful area and a perfect centre for walks of all levels and difficulties. Casa Angeles is an ideal house for walkers, for those who wish to explore this beautiful area or indeed anyone who wants to enjoy life in a picturesque pueblo.

In Salares you will find "Casa Angeles", a typical Andalucian style house. It is more than 200 years old, and has recently been renovated. In restoring the building we attempted to preserve as much of the original structure as possible. The only modifications made were those strictly necessary for adapting the house to modern facilities.

Most of the furnitures have been refurnished and placed in their original locations. This permits the visitor to enjoy the house as it was in the olden days. Casa Angeles has been created for the enjoyment of country life and reproduces it with the greatest possible fidelity. This is not a hotel, nor does it pretend to be. However, a flare of luxury does exist here, with complementary touches that we are sure you will appreciate. The copper pans which were used for cooking have been returned to their place above the fire place. The pitchers seem ready to be taken down to the river for water. With its wooden beams and reeds in the ceiling, its thick walls and its earth floor, the house gives you a feeling of having stepped back in time. However it is fully equipped for modern use.

Have no doubts, 'Casa Angeles' is the ideal place for escaping for a while and forgetting noise, bustle and rush. Here you will be able to spend some time in absolute tranquility and enjoy communing with nature in the truest sense. Casa Angeles also provides a great base for a walking holiday.
