This wonderful part of Spain is rich in both culture and countryside. It encompasses the spectacular mountain ranges that guard the Costa del Sol from the more hostile weather in the north. It includes the famous white villages of Andalucia with such magical names as Casares, Torrox, Frigiliana, Alcaucin, Orgiva and Lanjarron. These are names that have inspired famous writers and poets forever. Read Gerald Brenan "South from Granada, an excellent account of his years spent in the Alpujarras living with the people of that area. In this region you are close to the coast but in terms of scenery a million miles away, there are wonderful mountain walks, snow caps for 9 months of the year and fast running rivers. Then of course the peoples of Andalucia - warm friendly and welcoming, in the main country folk with no concept or interest in time, be sure to throw away your watch before you come here!!
