The commarch of the Alpujarras is, above even the Sierra Nevada of Granada, Spain. Its scenery more wild and unspoiled.

At a distance between 50 and 120 km from the city of Granada, in the heart of the Cordillera Penibetica, where the valleys open and gulleys give way to the warm light of its fields, this all makes the Contraviesa. Gador and Lujar, the most peculiar mountains of Europe, in them lies sleepy white villages with flat roofs.

The names of the towns in the Alpujarras that are actually inhabited by a large, international community are: Pampaneira, Capileira, Bubión, Trevélez, Yegen, Válor, Cádiar, Jorairátar, Murtas, Turón, Capileira, Orgiva and Lanjarón.
