January/April can be very pleasant, but also quite wet sometimes. May/June are probably the most clement months. July/August can get very hot and it is best to stay indoors during the afternoon. September/December are usually quite pleasant, but with very heavy thunderstorms at times.

I live here, having fallen in love with the place whilst holidaying in the area 9 years ago. The following year I returned and bought an old run-down Cortijo for just �21,000, having discovered that the people of the nearby village of Almazora were very friendly and open and the village had all amenities - Small supermarket, 5 bars, Dr's surgery, post office and pharmacy. Albox is less than 10 minutes away for a wider choice.

The weather in July/August is very hot and dry.

In January to March it is quite pleasant but you can get a bit of rain, and is quite chilly at night.

The village is very laid back and not half as busy as tourist resorts.

There are outside cafes and an English supermarket, if you can't go without some of ol' Blighties goodies.

The surrounding areas are quite barren and the roads, even on weekends are traffic free.

We always stay in or near the mountains and the views are fantastic.
