Life At La Casa Del Viento And Around Lanjaron

A Three Kings Christmas

Posted by Jason Campbell on Tuesday, January 18, 2011
Life in Lanjaron and the Alpujarras has been wonderful. My brother and I had the privilege of spending the holidays here at La Casa del Viento. Ann has been a wonderful host and created a great home away from home. She has been kind enough to take us around to different places and introduced us to the local culture and traditions. The Three Kings Parade and eating grapes at the stroke of midnight for New Year's was a lot of fun and unique to experience.

Christmas time in the Alpujarras

Posted by Malte Harhorn on Tuesday, December 21, 2010
I have now been at La Casa del Viento for a little over a week and the Christmas spirit is definitely poking out its pretty little head now. I am staying here with my Danish friend Louise and we have escaped the Danish winter cold and gone to Spain and who can think of a better place to spend the Holidays than in the Alpujarras. We have seen great sunny days with half-naked woodcutting in the warm December sun, as well as rainy days involving Christmas decorations and gift wrapping.

La Buena Vida (The good life in Las Alpujarras).....

I would have to say that my 3 weeks at La Casa Del Viento in Las Alpujarras have been the most relaxing and chilled 3 weeks of my life - and I wasn't even a client! I was looking to help out on a Spanish farmhouse for a last few weeks of sun before heading back to rainy Scotland, and arrived not knowing what to expect, after contacting Ann last minute. I don't think I could have been more happily surprised. With little white "casitas" perched up on the mountain, looking down over the town of ...

Half Dead Cat = Beauty... Life in Las Alpujarras

First Thoughts and Overall feel. 
Im not sure when or how long exactly it was since i arrived at La Casa Del Viento, i believe i have been here for about 4 
weeks but it has felt as though it was at least two months, time goes slowly in Lanjaron but it in positive way as there is 
so much beauty around to admire no matter what time of day it is. More than aesthetically pleasing, relaxing and meditating 
were a collection of natural highs i experienced for a couple of days when i first arrived and...

My time so far at La Casa del Viento Accommodation in Las Alpujarras

Posted by Vickie Jones on Tuesday, September 7, 2010
The days here are so long, in a happy way. I start by watering my vegetable garden, my patch which I have nurtured for over a week now. It is so good to reap the rewards and use them in the kitchen; the other day I made a gazpacho for lunch using the beautiful fresh Spanish tomatoes, another time I made lemon meringue pie with fresh fruit from the tree. The pie was actually a dessert for Ann's weekly Sunday roasts, a real treat for locals, clients and helpers alike. 

It feels like a very balan...
