The elegance of the facade of the 17th century mansion (known as Casa del Duque de Alba) in the town of Sorbas in the Province of Almeria, Andalusia, Spain, would also be found in the rooms inside. The mansion was said to be the summer residence of the Duke of Alba, and this is confirmed by the 1752 census, which lists this information.
The House of Alba was a family of aristocratic, Spanish origin dating from 1429, however, in the 18th century the Duchy of Alba was passed down to the Dukes of Berwick (because of outstanding service, in wartime to Philip V of Spain).
The Casa del Duque de Alba in Sorbas, Spain is just one of the places to visit in this cliff top town.
