The Alpujarra is a dramatic part of Andalucia in Southern Spain. Terraced farmland, dramatic mountains and ancient Moorish villages provide the perfect environment for walkers who love to experience Spain at its wildest and most authentic - far away from the populous "costas". The region has come to prominence recently with the best-seller "Driving Over Lemons" (Chris Stewart). Though seemingly remote, it is easy to reach from both Granada in the north and from all of the coastal resorts along the Costa del Sol. So this really is a chance to get away from it all! Jeremy Rabjohns lives in the Alpujarra and has been leading walks there for 15 years. His book contains 27 walks from 5 to 25km based on villages typical of the region. No other guide is as accurate or up-to-date as this - and scarcely any other book provides such an abundance of background information, which can only be appreciated by exploring the Alpujarra on foot. An exploration of Granada is included - demonstrating that there is more to discover than the famous Alhambra.
