More Views of La Drova

The character of the area is gradually changing. Some local roads now have street lighting and a lot of the newer properties are very large and take up a greater proportion of the plot they have been built on ...this makes parts of La Drova look and feel more like an urbanisation. So far, the beauty of the surrounding countryside is an effective counter to this.

La Drova went through a phase of being a place where affluent Spanish people bought holiday homes ...but lately there has been an influx of English-speaking people (about forty households).

I spent a few months (during 2002) carefully translating a local information leaflet concerning Barx and the area. You can view the results using the link below.

I hand delivered the translation to the town hall ...addressed to the mayor. I didn't get a reply..

By some strange coincidence a new leaflet (in English) became available months  later

To the best of my knowledge, the leaflet is now out of print but you can still access my translation by going to this LINK.

The "Tour of La Drova" video (below) encapsulates the atmosphere of the area in a way that the photos on these pages can't hope to achieve--but you will need a broadband connection.
