The village of Bedar on the Costa Almeria is set high in the beautiful Sierra de los Filabres, about twenty-five minutes' drive from Mojacar Playa (beach). It is a fine example of a Spanish white village which grew up around the copper and lead mining industry.
Three airports serve the Costa Almeria. Alicante is just over two hours north of Bedar, Murcia is about an hour and a half away and Almeria is about forty- five minutes to the south. Flybe, Ryanair and ThomsonFly fly to these airports. All the major car hire firms are represented at the airports.
A car is essential as there is no public transport to the village and parking is only a few metres away from the house in Plaza del Ermita.
