By all accounts, the Alpujarra is a beautiful and fascinating place. It sits in Andalusia in Spain, on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and is characterised by its fertile farmed terraces. It is rich with history, having been one of the last frontiers in the Catholic ''reconquista'' of Southern Spain in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, from the al=-Andalus Muslims who had lived there since the Moorish conquest five hundred years before.
I've never been but always wanted to and reading ''Betwixt the Sierra & the Sea'' has sharpened that urge. Perhaps next year!
