AN EXCEPTIONAL PLACE: THE VILLAGE OF LOS PRADOS, YESTE, SIERRA DE SEGURA

PLOT FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING

I offer you the possibility of acquiring a plot where you can build a detached house, with electricity, water and telephone on the plot, located in a village, Los Prados, immersed in the purest Nature that can be found in Spain, and I do not mean in a mountain outside of a city, or in the countryside on the side of a road traveled by noisy vehicles, but in an exceptional place, 16 km. of the beautiful mountain town of Yeste, in the southwest of the province of Albacete, bordering the province of Jaén, in the Sierra de Segura, in the Natural Park of the Calares del Mundo and the Sima and adjacent to the Natural Park of Cazorla Segura and the Villas. A territory that, incredible as it may seem, still remains virtually virgin today.

Pure air, magnificent views of a first class natural environment, wild fauna and flora in perfect combination with the work of the human being who for decades has been dedicated to the cultivation of small gardens, livestock and forestry tasks..

The plot of about 400 m2 is in a small village, "Los Prados" which is located at 1,200 m. of altitude at the foot of the mass, wooded and immense, of the "Calar del Mentiras" ("Calar of Lies") or "Calar de la Sima" ("Calar of Pothole") (A Calar is a mountain of limestone). A small village that rises lazily occupying several terraces, from the small stream that irrigates the orchards where the inhabitants plant their seasonal vegetables to the forests of holm oaks and pine trees that surround it everywhere.

If you love Nature this place will really look like a jewel. The area in which it is located has exceptional landscape values ​​that do not coincide too much with the vision that is usually seen in southern Spain. Despite being located in an area with thousands of hours of sunshine per year, the rains are more abundant than in other areas of the south, with an average rainfall of 800 to 1,000 l/m2, which guarantees the presence of abundant vegetation, which in many areas seems typical of places much further north, and all-year courses of water, some as significant as the upper Segura River, or its tributary, the Tus, which, less than 30 minutes away on foot, presents an absolutely exceptional and not very well known landscape, the Tus River canyon, and its natural opening, the beautiful and atavistic valley of the Tus, where still (now, almost ending the second decade of the 21st century) it is possible to contemplate the tasks of plowing or harvesting of wood with draft animals, and it is not about exhibitions for tourists, but of the habitual works of the locals, works that, unfortunately, and if some kind of miraculous change does not mediate, they are called to disappear in a not very distant term, due to the depopulation after the emigration from these magnificent nature environments.

In winter, snowfalls are frequent. On these occasions, the landscape of the area seems more typical of the Alpine mountain than of the Spanish south. But of course, even in winter there are a lot of days of sun to enjoy this beautiful place, as corresponds to Spanish south.
