Spanish House Names !!!

Hi Steve,

the old name of Vellez is Ballix, so maybe Casa Ballix? Or something to do with the characteristics of your house, like casa de las naranjas, if you have orange trees or casa azul, if it has blue windows and doors. Or just plainly casa Esteban, that is spanish for Steve.

Thanks GINKO Some good ideas for Names for my House in Velez, no trees where my house is on Calle Monte Carmelo  nice narrow patterned Street though, not many houses on it. Coming over in Feb 2022 for 10 x days, get some bits and pieces for the house..

Cheers Ginko

warm Regards Steve. 😃

Calle Monte Carmelo  = Mount Carmel Street

Mount Carmel - origins -The name, dating back to biblical times, is derived from the Hebrew kerem (“vineyard” or “orchard”) and attests to the mountain’s fertility even in ancient times.

Sanctified since early times, Mt. Carmel is mentioned as a “holy mountain” in Egyptian records of the 16th century BC. There are now many fine parks and woods on the slopes of the mountain. Much of the wooded area is included in the Carmel Nature Reserve. On the southwest slopes are caves where archaeologists found (1931–32) Stone age human skeletons of a type previously unknown.

How about calling your house  " Casa del Cerro Huerta"  - "Orchard Hill House"

People who read Spanish will ask, " Why Orchard Hill?" and knowing both origin and current circumstances of Mount Carmel you will know how to answer them !
