The Alpujarra, also sometimes called Las Alpujarras, is a historical region of Andalusia, divided between the provinces of Granada and Almeria. Located on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. To the north, the territory is distributed between a series of valleys and ravines that descend from the summits and that vertebrate the region, formed by the basins of the river Guadalfeo, in the Granada part, and of the river Andarax, in the Almeria part. To the south, we find the Lujar, Contraviesa and Gador mountain ranges, which have numerous ravines that go down to the Mediterranean Sea. A space of impressive beauty and great contrasts. With fertile land in the area of Granada and more arid land in the area of Almeria. Do you already know in which area you are going to book your rental in Las Alpujarras?

Although the main villas in the region are Ugijar, Orgiva, Berja, Cadiar and Trevelez, it is the three white villas in the Poqueira Gorge, Pampaneira, Capileira and Bubion, which have been recognized as entity tourist destinations. The whole area has very similar architectural features and urban layouts that adapt perfectly to the unevenness of the terrain, which gives them a great charm. With staggered houses on the ground that give the feeling of being stacked on top of each other. With flat roofs of launa, balconies full of flowers, "tinaos" and chimneys. Flanking the narrow cobblestone streets of Moorish heritage. It is all these elements that give the villages of this area a unique and picturesque appearance.
