REGION

This geographical (not political) Alpujarras region stretches from the Sierra Nevada watershed (north) to the Mediterranean (south) and from the Río Guadalfeo (west) to the Río Andarax (east), and it encompasses parts of Granada and Almería provinces.Still relatively unknown because of its difficult access and abrupt, steep landscape, Las Alpujarras has been inhabited since the Neolithic age. Searching for minerals and fertile soil, Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans, all established themselves and left an important archaeological heritage. But the greatest impact was made by the Moors, from 711 to 1492, when Las Alpujarras enjoyed “golden age”. By making a sophisticated irrigation system they achieved intensive agriculture and by planting mulberry trees they made a renowned silk industry. When the Moors were finally expelled at the end of the 16th century, Philip 11 repopulated the area with 2500 families from Galicia and the north.

The geography of Las Alpujarras is spectacular: from sea level to the highest peak in Spain (Mulhacen, 3,482 m) in 30 km. There are 15 summits above 3000 meters and the area contains many exclusive plant and insect species. The bird population is massive and varied, from song birds to owls and it is still possible to see the majestic flight of the golden eagle and other birds of prey. Reptiles and lizards are well represented as well as wild boar, ibex, foxes, badgers, and even civet cats.The climate is Mediterranean, with a hot, dry period of at least two months in summer. Las Alpujarras claims the greatest range of temperature in Europe, with winters which can be almost tropical near the coast or as severe as in north Europe on the highest peaks.The economy still depends on agriculture; mules can still be seen toiling on fields far too steep for tractors, and goats graze the mountain sides. The main local products are wine, cherry tomatoes, green beans, almonds, and olives but almost anything grows, from avocados, dates and mangoes on the tropical coast, to cherries, raspberries and strawberries, walnuts and chestnuts on the higher slopes.

ABOUT THE VILLAGE

The town dates back over 800 years to when the Alpujarras was ruled and inhabited by the Moors. It was a collection of wealthy smallholdings and a center for the silk trade; mulberry trees still line one of the prettiest local walks leading to the ruins of the silk factory, with its perfect Moorish arch still intact, now a delightful spot for a picnic.

The town perches on the mountain side above the deep river gorge, the source of the Guadalfeo. Behind is the snow-capped Sierra Nevada and all around are terraced and irrigated farmlands. There are great old chestnut trees, cherry, peach and apple orchards, and fields of cherry tomatoes, green beans, raspberries and strawberries. One will hear the tinkling of bells of all sizes on the sheep, goats and cattle and the jolly song of multitudes of birds.

The Moors’ influence is still visible in this white village, with its steep, narrow, cobbled streets, more comfortable for mules than for cars or humans. The higgledy-piggledy houses compete with their displays of colorful plants and there are many fountains, washing houses and drinking troughs. There are two banks (one with a cash dispenser), a few shops, a chemist, a doctor’s surgery, library, school and a helicopter pad for emergencies. Plus, several bars for tapas.
