Izbor query please
Izbor query please
First of all, Hola to you all, this is my first post on this forum and I would be glad of your help.
I live in a small town on the Costa Blanca. I have the chance to buy a 200 year old house in the village of Izbor.
I've seen all the pictures of the house, and I've googled the area, but there's little info regarding the village itself.
It'll be some weeks before I can go and look at the area in person, so I'm hoping you guys will be able to fill me in a little in the meantime with some info.
What is the Dialect?
What is the weather like in winter?
Is there good access to the village during bad weather?
Have you any negative comments about the area.?
I'm afraid all I've learned from the internet is that it's 30 mins from Granada, and about an hour from Malaga and a 'rock climbing area' lol.
Any more info would be very appreciated

Hello Jessi
Only been there once but briefly the dialect is strong Andaluz. The weather is generally OK in winter but can get very cold at night. I think it is still just below the snow line of the Sierra Nevada and is probably classified as being part of the Lecrin Valley. I believe there is fairly good access to the village. Weather should not affect it. However, the road in is very narrow and steep and if my memory serves correctly traffic operates on a kind of one way system. In fact everything is very steep - you will stay fit!
I think only 1 hour from Malaga is a little optamistic. If I can help further just ask!
Regards, Jill

Jill , muchas gracias...apologies for not getting back sooner but I've been in London on hols for the last 2 weeks.
Very hot here in Rojales CB today...45 deg on the terrace
I'm taking a drive down to see the village and the property next week, so I wondered if you might have an idea of a cheapie B&B or similar, close to the area?
Many thanks again.

Had a week in a nearby village, same exit from main road, Granada - Motril, as Izbor.
Izbor was the big town for the locals where I stayed. Nice place 2 bars, found, and 1 shop, not found.
Walk over hill to and walk road back! Bars friendly with tapas(not prawn though)
I thought Izbor an attractive small Spanish village/town. Most cars seemed to park at 'bottom' of town and folks walked up. Roads in town above 'town square' 1 car wide and very bendy and steep, ideal for donkey travel or shankses.
When I was there was a lot of road works on the main road but access to Izbor was ok.
Wasn't keen on Motril but that was where I did most of my shopping.

Fabulous, thanks for that Ron, any info gratefully received
The only info we have about the place is that you can't park the car near the house that we're going to view (as you said) and that Motril is the nearest beach.
We don't have a single idea of the area whatsoever, apart from research on the www.
We're taking an overnight trip to view the house next week, so does anyone have any suggestions of must see places within easy driving distance while we're there.?
Muchas gracias

Lanjaron is a nice place to stay we have stayed at the Hotel Lanjaron twice a very friendly place and the manager Victor speaks good english
approx 35 euros per night for a double room b&b. Izbor is only a 10 min drive from Lanjaron.
Orgiva is a must see place and drive along the alpujarras valley is worth a look.
