If you are looking for a property in the stunning Alpujarra area, it will be useful to learn some background. This timeless corner of south-eastern
Spain
where the sun shines most days and the amazing beauty of its countryside will capture your imagination. Panoramic views can be seen from every property and the white-washed villages sparkle like jewels against the dramatic countryside. Nestled on the south-side of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains, there are many pretty villages steeped in Moorish history nowadays fully geared up for modern living with amenities such as shops, schools, medical centres, banks & vets.
The vibrant charm and friendliness of the locals is apparent when walking down the streets as they welcome foreigners to share their heritage. This spectacular area was home to the Moorish people thanks to the banishment of the Moors of the Catholic Kings Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. ABEN HUMEYA was the most charismatic Moorish King born in the pretty village of Válor. Nowadays it is commonplace to see m
ules and donkeys carry their load of olives, straw or almonds depending on the time of year and cattle often plough the fields. In sharp contrast to the quaint side of country life here there is an excellent ALSA bus service to and from both Almería and
Granada
