Villas and apartments Las Alpujarras

Between the Mediterranean Sea and the higher mountains of Spain, you will find Las Alpujarras Andalucia, which is one of the most beautiful and charming regions in the world. It's a land highlighted by snowy mountains, bountiful sunshine and splendid scenery. There are snow-topped peaks that rise over 10,000 feet, and they slope toward the south, traversed by lush countryside and wooded river gorges.

The higher slopes of the mountains are robed in pine forests, and these give way to cherry, walnut and chestnut trees, then to olive and almond groves and vines, and finally to the pomegranate, lemon and orange groves that thrive in the valley. The mountains have one more rise in them before they reach the ocean, and then slip into the palm-fringed sand and tropical coves of the Mediterranean coast.

The higher mountains live in their own world of splendor. In the winter, they seem wild and distant, but they come alive early in the summer with wild herb scents and tiny, bright flowers, some of which can only be found in the Las Alpujarras Andalucia area. The sun and the altitude combine to play host to many more botanical species than can be found elsewhere in Europe. Partridges, goshawks, eagles, foxes, wild boar and mountain goats inhabit the area. The rivers are full of trout, and goats and sheep graze the lush hillsides.

As you gaze from the snowy mountains down to the see, you'll find a panorama of views. When the sun is setting, you can even see the Rif mountains in Morocco, and these are 200 km away.

There is also something that can't be defined in the Las Alpujarras Andalucia area. The Spanish call it “rings of magic”. The mountains exude natural power, and everyone who visits can feel it. There is something in the brilliance of the stars, the bright sunlight, the pure mountain air and the clear water. Something lives in this area, with the local customs that are still honored, and the warmth and peace of the Andalusian sun.
