Granada information
El Valle de Lecrín, Vélez de Benaudalla and Los Guajares
These regions are situated in a great location equidistant to
Granada, Sierra Nevada, the Alpujarra and the tropical Coast.
El Valle de Lecrín is 15 min. away from Granada at the southwest
end of Sierra Nevada. A historical route connects the city of
Granada with the Alpujarra and the tropical coast. This region
is excellent for the cultivation of citric and olive trees due
to its geographical location- sunny and protected from the cold
northern winds by Sierra Nevada. The combination of such an enclave
with the vast fields of trees turns this place into beautiful
scenery. History seems to have paused in this valley where the
quietness is only disrupted by the sound of the fresh water running
down the streams that invites the visitor to meditate and enjoy
the intimate atmosphere.
The water- symbol of life- is transformed into a piece of art
in Vélez. The Arab castle and the Nazarí garden are full of fountains
and waterfalls that create beautiful atmosphere worthy to be enjoyed
with all the senses. Also interesting is to visit the little islands
created by the river Guadalfeo that farmers use to grow vegetables.
The proximity of this region is a strategic place to live since
it is a far away from Granada as it is from the coast.
Los Guajares is a region where the ancient Muslim watering and
terrace- cultivations systems are still use nowadays. This subtropical
valley in watered bay the river Toba and sprinted by white- painted
little villages where maze- looking narrow streets decorated with
plants and flowers carry the visitor back in time.
