Renting a spanish house in the mountains


	Casa Karina


	Sedella and its surroundings


	Sedella is a small white village well hidden in the mountains of Southern Spain.




	It is an authentic Spanish village which proudly sticks to its traditions. Where men with loaded mules still walk through the streets and where goat herders pass with their big herds of goats. Where the animals are blessed once a year by the priest, where the fish car and bread car come every day and where the knife-grinder comes once in a while. Where the women met for a talk at the weekly market, where the men play cards in the bar in the afternoons. Where time stands still.

The village is about 700 m above sea level and has about 600 inhabitants. The range of shops in Sedella is quite limited. There is a pharmacy, a hairdresser, 2 groceries, 2 restaurants and 3 bars .

In Sedella you find taps where the water runs all year round and where the mules get a drink after a hard days work.
