“A delightful house, village and scenic district” The house: Cal Porxo is as lovely as the photographs! When renovated, it was with such wonderful taste - so much so that we all were delighted - including our teenage boys. Ground floor is little more than a large porch with stairs to the first floor (kitchen, living room, single bedroom and shower/toilet/sink room). The next floor has the 2 double bedrooms with a shared shower/toilet/sink room. The next floor up is the terrace (through a low door) with lovely views over the pan-tiled roofs of the surrounding homes and the church tower. It was very pleasant to read up there or play cards etc. The kitchen is very well stocked - with a big fridge/freezer, toaster, cooker/hob and enough crockery to be able to fill the dishwasher! (There is also a clothes washer tucked away upstairs). We were concerned that the house would be too hot – not having air-con. The weather when we were there wasn’t exceedingly hot (for August) but we were still surprised how cool the house was. It must be the stone construction. The owner Jesus suggested that we closed the windows by day to keep the cool in and open the windows by night to let the cool in. This seemed to work. The Village: The village is truly beautiful. Medieval narrow streets and tall multi-floored narrow homes! It is all beautifully kept (in a rustic style) and around each corner you come to a view over the valley and the impressive mountains and cliffs. There is a wonderful playground for younger kids with swings and slides, and a table tennis table – which we all played on (and Jesus provided bats and balls). There are even hammocks to relax in. The municipal pool is lovely and new and a bit like an infinity pool as you look out on the stunning scenery. We found everyone in the village were friendly and greeted you as you passed. My boys made friends with some of the village boys and played polo in the pool and table tennis with them – the grand football game didn’t quite get organised! We did think that it might be so quiet and dead that it there would be no soul to the place – far from it. There were always people around sitting outside their homes chatting. And as for quiet – well their kids don’t go to bed until at least midnight and can be heard calling and shouting – and of course – are heard through all the open windows! It’s not only the kids but the church clock not only counts the hours, but the quarter hours too – and if that is not enough the clock (after a pause) counts the hours a second time! And yes it is all through the night!! (With open windows!!). We just thought it was part of charm of the ‘real’ village that Pradell de la Teixeta is. The District: It is so different to the coast here. Lots of rugged scenery. Lots of interesting car drives. We only wished we had more time to explore. Owner: Jesus Garcia is a lovely warm genuine guy. We managed to break something and he was very very accommodating. We felt he was someone you could trust.
