Bedar, a south facing, charming and relatively unspoiled village is a pretty and tranquil area. The village has a number of restaurants and inexpensive traditional tapas bars, local market weekly, bakery for fresh bread daily, small supermarket, chemist and bank.
There are visible remnants of the mines built in the 19th century to exploit the abundant mineral deposits in the area. Their old railway tracks making ideal hiking routes.
Close by there are many other interesting places to visit; the Tabernas desert where many films and commercials have been filmed ( the latest being David Beckham shooting the Pepsi commercial) which has now two closely linked theme parks; Fort Bravo-Texas-Hollywood and Oasys-Mini-Hollywood and Zoo. There are also the Alhambra Palace in Granada, the caves of Sorbas, Roquetas del Mar, Aqua Park and many more attractions including five golf courses within easy reach.
