Although some of the tourist books
for the area state that Molino Charrara produced olive oil, this is incorrect.
It is in fact an antique flour
mill and as such most of it is listed and cannot be altered. Because of this we
were a little worried about our inspection by the authority for our Hospederia
upgrade as a couple of the rooms and bathrooms are a little smaller than would
otherwise be allowed in modern hotels. We need not have worried, in an historic
building such as this it doesn't matter and we can bypass some requirements. So
we do apologise in advance if you bang your elbows in the shower or are unable
to jump off the top of the wardrobe onto the bed without banging your head on
the wall. You are staying in a living museum and can enjoy the peace and
tranquility of your countryside surroundings in a place where generations of
people have struggled to work throughout history. The Moors first built a mill
on this site around 1000 years ago and they didn't have wardrobes or beds, so
count yourselves lucky. You have a private bathroom too but please consider the
environment as we are not on mains sewage, anything you throw down the toilet
other than toilet paper can block the septic tank causing it to overflow across
the lower patio where you will be eating, into the water supply for the olive
growers further down the Rambla who will not be too happy if they try to have a
drink or a wash.
We also apologise that disabled access is very limited but again due to
regulations and our cliff side situation this is beyond our control. We have
provided ramps where ever we can but these are a little steep in places.
We have been inspected, we passed, we are fully insured and we are 100% legal to
offer you accommodation, food and drinks in this beautiful area.

If you are
looking for Bed and Breakfast in Murcia then Hospederia Molino Charrara is the place. Located at the head of the Rambla Benito
in the Campo de Ricote this
19th century
*Bucket
Mill* offers a rustic and friendly place to stay with
English, German and Spanish speaking staff.
Playing an important role in war time and through the black market
helping to feed the local people, the house has been completely rebuilt
respecting the original building elements using furniture and rustic
decor and now under new management offers a family atmosphere in
total harmony with the environment of rural milling.
The Region of Murcia enjoys a Mediterranean climate of a semi arid type
with mild winters and warm summers. The Ricote Valley is one of the most
beautiful and little-known areas of the fertile plains of the great
river Segura which runs through the heart of Murcia. Here you can soak
up the remnants of Islamic culture, for the Ricote Valley was the last
bastion of the Moors in south-eastern Spain where the Mudejares remained
until 1614. For those of you who want a different holiday in Spain and a
break from the beach this area offers many different ways to enjoy rural
Spain but with beaches just an hour away you can still enjoy a holiday
with a difference. |
