CABRERA VILLAGE, perched in the Sierra Cabrera mountains of Almeria, is a quaint spot that combines beautiful scenery with a relaxed atmosphere. Built in the late 1980s, this small community showcases charming Moorish-style homes, featuring warm terracotta colours, cozy courtyards, and unique archways.
A Legacy Preserved: Peter Grosscurth’s Vision
The village was designed by Peter Grosscurth, who aimed to create a space that felt connected to the surrounding landscape. Although Peter has passed, his vision lives on in Cabrera Village, where residents honour his legacy by maintaining the character and beauty of the area.
