Busot is a traditional
Spanish village built around the ruins of a 12th
century Moorish castle. The centre of the town is
typically Spanish with narrow winding streets and small
shops almost hidden in amongst the townhouses.
The village and its
surrounding area offer an enviable mixture of property
types; from traditional town houses and fincas through
to newly built apartments and villas.
If you’re looking for a
typical Spanish village with a thriving international
community and plenty of amenities then Busot has it all.
English, Dutch, French and other nationalities live
happily alongside their Spanish neighbours and
experience the relaxed and healthy lifestyle for which
Spain is renowned.
Busot offers an excellent
range of amenities including; a health centre, pharmacy,
local junior and infant school, bank, post office, pet
shop, bakery, park, bars, restaurants and a variety of
small shops.
The local people of Busot
are very friendly and stepping into one of the Spanish
bars in the town is like stepping back in time. As with
any traditional Spanish village it pays to know a few
Spanish phrases as not many of the local people speak
English and the Spanish really appreciate it when
foreigners make an effort to speak the language.
 Although the town of Busot
is relatively small, like many Spanish villages it has a
‘polideportivo’ or local sports centre where for a
modest charge residents can use a number of sports
facilities including; tennis courts, swimming pool and a
football pitch. Tennis coaching, swimming lessons and
football coaching is also available for adults and
children together with dance classes and exercise
classes.
The
village also has a modern and impressive ‘casa de
cultura’ in which clubs and societies meet, exhibitions
and theatrical and musical events are staged and where
foreign residents can attend Spanish classes.
Perhaps one of the most
striking features of Busot is the rugged mountain range
which provides a dramatic backdrop for the town. This
mountain range is home to the famous ‘cuevas de
canelobre’ or candelabra caves, the inner aspect of
which has one of the highest vaults of any cave in Spain.
Despite the often relentless heat outside, the caves
maintain a near constant year-round temperature and
house some interesting stalactites and stalagmites, many
of which have been given names due to their shapes and
colours. For more information about the caves visit our
‘Things to see & do in the area’ section.
