Mountain villages over 1,000 metres above sea level hug the slopes overlooking gorgeous scenery and the sparkling Mediterranean 40 kilometres away. The snows of the Sierra Nevada form a magnificent backdrop feeding the mountain streams with an unending supply of water. The countryside is scoured with stark canyons contrasting with green valleys and fields of wild flowers. Picturesque building traditions brought here by the Moors are found only in the Alpujarras and the remote Berber villages of the Atlas mountains. The streets are narrow, steep and twisting with wide gutters in the middle designed for melting snow and mules. The houses are made from uncut stone with flat grey roofs of stone laid horizontally across wooden beams and covered with a thick coating of decomposed slate. Long open galleries on the first floor are hung with drying maize and peppers, and terraces full of flowers have been built across the narrow streets to form a labyrinth of connecting bridges and tunnels. |
