This property can be found in an area known as Fogerate which is in the hills above the white village of Canillas de Albaida. It takes less than 20 minutes to drive from Competa and about 10 minutes from Canillas.

The elevated position means that there are glorious views and on a clear day it is possible to see the North African Riff Mountains. It is a really quiet and peaceful spot with little to disturb your tranquillity.
