The Alpujarras or Alpujarra in Granada
The Alpujarra is one of the most visited regions of the province of Granada. Difficult access to this mountainous
area has, until recently, contributed to the region conserving such a picturesque landscape and architecture.
The Alpujarras cover the area between Sierra Nevada and the sea and stretch eastwards towards the province of
Almeria. To the west borders the mountains of Lujar and to the south they almost reach the ocean.
