More about our village

Llano de los Olleres Plaza & Church

	Casa Montana Vista bed and breakfast is situated in the village of Llanos De Los Olleres pronounced "yano de lo ollere" meaning plain of the potters. We are surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery found in southern Spain, the village being surrounded by olive, orange, lemon and almond groves.  We have some wonderful walks and cycle paths and ramblas for the more energetic with the fantastic views of the Saliente mountains as a back drop. We have made many Spanish friends since moving into the village and restoring what we and our clients now think is a comfortable Spanish home and Bed and Breakfast. We have a bakers, post office/shop, cafe bar, and bus service to Albox and further afield if required.  Most of our neighbours make their living by either growing crops of almonds, oranges, lemons, grapes and olives or rearing goats for their milk and cheese.  There are other family run industries connected with the painting and building trade which we are sure you are aware of is a thriving industry throughout Spain. The village is situated within easy reach of the town of Albox with all the amenities of everyday life from internet cafes, supermarkets to clothes shops, bars, restaurants and hardware stores.We are only a five minute drive away from the centre.
