Also known as Las Alpujarras, this is land of sunshine, snow-capped mountains and stunning scenery.
From the spectacular peaks, rising to over 10,000 feet, the Sierra Nevada slopes southwards, crossed by deep, wooded
gorges and breathtaking countryside. There are panoramic views in all directions, and sometimes at sunset, the Rif
mountains of Morocco are clearly visible, 200kms across the Mediterranean.
The higher slopes are lined with pine forests, with chestnut, walnut and cherry trees further down. The valleys
turn to almonds, olive groves and vines, and then to orange and lemon, pomegranate and quince. The mountains fall
steeply into the coves and beaches of the Mediterranean. La Alpujarra is home to mountain goats, wild boar, foxes,
eagles, goshawks and partridge, whilst sheep and goats graze the hillsides.
The Moors took refuge in these mountains, fighting their last battles in La Alpujarra, and their legacy is to be
seen in the distinctive architecture and the irrigation systems which still feed water from the melting snows in the sierras above.
The architecture is unique in Europe, being identical to Berber villages in the Atlas mountains of Northern Africa.
The climate is typical Andalucian, warm and sunny with clear blue skies most of the year. The mountain air is the cleanest
in Europe and the heat in mid-summer is not oppressive. The historic city of Granada is nearby, the ski facilities on the
Sierra Nevada are world-class and the Mediterranean is under an hour away.
Bubion is one of the high mountain villages on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Dramatically set in the
beautiful Poqueira Ravine at an altitude of 1,350 metres above sea level, the views in all directions are spectacular.
Bubion is popular amongst walkers, horse-riders and mountain bikers as well as Spanish weekenders. There are a handful
of bars and restaurants, offering traditional Alpujarran cuisine. If you enjoy peace and tranquillity,
Bubion provides the perfect destination.
