Then the site would be cool for you eh?

I wanted to go inland in Andalucia, somewhere near the last of the Moors stronghold in and around Granada, that way we were going to do Moorish tours and Moorish themed stays.....

I'll point my sister to the site too - she lives in Almeria (the province, not the town) I love that area of Spain.
