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.

Virtually untouched since Arab rule, yet retaining the original Berber architecture, unique to Spain, it was only in the late nineteenth century that artists, bohemians and backpackers started to arrive to this area. The Alpujarras of Granada are very popular with many visitors, especially the British.
