The Alpujarra, on the south side of the Sierra Nevada, offers endless waves of hills in the hot sun, cool evening air, lush vegetation, views of snow covered peaks and fantastic hikes between the many small ancient villages.
Between the highest mountains in Spain and the Mediterranean Sea, La Alpujarra is one of the most enchanting and beautiful regions in the world. Spains´s best kept secret, a joyous land if sunshine, snowy mountains and some of the most splendid scenery imaginable.
The high mountains have their own special beauty; wild in winter, they come alive in early summer with the scents of wild herbs and the spectacle of tiny, brilliantly coloured flowers, many of them unique to Sierra Nevada. Altitude and sun have combined to evolve more endemic botanical species in la Alpujarra than in all the rest of Europe.
The architecture of the little mountain villages from La Alpujarra is unique in Europe and is identical to Berber originals in the Atlas mountains of Northern Africa. With dwellings characterised by flat roofs and prominent chimney pots, the villages were built by the Berber settlers whose creation imitated and followed the half-natural, half-man made designs of their own mountain lands. Beautiful in their simplicity, the villages appear to tumble haphazardly down the steep hillsides, connected by a labyrinth of narrow, winding cobbled streets. A picture to behold, glistening white in the sun, roses and geraniums spilling from every nook and cranny.
Salobreña by the Mediterranean (with 9-hole golf course) is 1 hour away and Málaga airport approximately 3 hours drive.
