RECLINE among the broom and mimosa in your Mexican hammock on one of the last wild coastlines of Andalucia. Casas Karen is one of the most laid back and relaxing places to stay in southern Spain.

Between pinewoods and beach, the collection of chozas and traditional Andalucían farmhouses, has become an outlet for Karen Abrahams’s creativity.

Casas Karen has grown organically over the years and is one of Andalucia’s most unique and colourful places to stay.

As well as a low water use garden with indigenous plants, there is a recycling waste water system and a composting area.

All the houses have independent terraces and wood burning stoves or open fire places. In addition there is also a shady outside communal area with hammocks. Decoration takes its inspiration from the local surroundings and local here means Andalucían and Moroccan – the high mountains of the Magreb are visible on clear days.

The place attracts people with a creative impulse and the atmosphere is totally laid back – like Caños itself, so popular with young travellers.

There’s walking, riding, biking in the Natural Park, surfing and swimming in the Atlantic ocean, bay of Cape Trafalgar – and personal advice on where to eat.

A variety of possibilities are on offer such as Ayurvedic massage, reflexology, reiki and yoga.

Some recent comments:

“A delightful complex with a range of accommodation in characterful buildings that include a barn and thatched huts. There are hammocks to lounge about in and are available for
well -priced weekly rentals. Recommended.”

“We stayed in la choza grande and we had a great time- I felt like so relaxed! I could hear the sea while we where sleeping! The house is very well equiped and very spacious 🙂 The situation of Caños was perfect for us, close to everything, the sea, the white villages and Cadiz! WE LOVE CANOS !!!!

“We are very lucky to have discovered Casas Karen – beautiful location. Our only regret is that we only stayed a week! We will allow longer next time!”
