  The web site for the Alpujarras, south of Granada

The region of Las Alpujarras is the area which contains the mountain villages on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada.  There are breathtakingly beautiful valleys,  and also gorges, which run down towards the coast.

The Alpujarra is well known for its ecological system, and is watered by the melting snow coming down from the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The terraced lands that you find in this area are always a shade of green, and this is due to the constant supply of snow melt.

This small cluster of villages was one of the last strongholds of the Moors in Spain
