The Valleys
and Villages of Spain's Granada
Puerto
Lope - Montesols nearest neighbour, very much a working village, which
boasts a Post Office, two banks, doctors, dentist, four supermarkets,
butcher, baker, hardware store and chemist.
There is also a disco and several cafes and bars where one
can sit and watch the world go by. You can still see the " goat man "
wandering around the area, with his dog and a walking stick in hand. |

Moclin Granada
-
a typical whitewashed village perched on a hillside, with two
restaurants, a bank, shops and a small local museum. What makes Moclin
so special are the Moors hilltop fortress,( it was in this very area
where the Moors made their last stand against the Christians ) and the
spectacular views over Granada to the Sierra Nevada. Set in a Natural
Park with wonderful walks around the area and with tourism growing in
the Granada Province, continuing prosperity is assured for this
beautiful part of Spain.

Montefrio Granada
-
one of the more spectacularly sited towns in this part of the country,
cradled between two rocky outcrops, each topped with a church. The most
interesting of the hilltop churches is the 16th Century Iglesia de la
Villa, a superb building, but no longer in use.
|
The
town has the even bigger neoclassical Iglesia de la Encarnacion at its
heart, with an enormous dome and some bizarre acoustics. When it comes
to eating, Montefrio is acclaimed for its morcilla ( black pudding )
and chorizo, excellent at the bar La Fonda, close the Iglesia de la
Encarnacion. |

Malaga
-
picturesquely situated at the foot of the Montes de Malaga, amid
luxuriant sub tropical vegetation, is one of the oldest Mediterrenean
ports.
|
Malaga
is particularly famed for its raisins ( pasas ), and its excellent
wines - already well known during Moorish times. Today Malaga is the
centre of the Costa del Sol, and almost 5 million holidaymakers fly in
every year to its international airport, named after Malaga's famous
artist Pablo Picasso. |
|
Cordoba
-
the most important town in Andalucia after Seville. It lies at the foot
of the Sierra de Cordoba, next to the Rio Guadalquivir.
|
Filled
with narrows winding streets, small squares and low whitewashed houses,
most of them with beautiful patios, the town has a Moorish atmosphere.
In fact it is still a western European Mecca because of the famous
great Mosque, which is now a Cathedral. Yet despite these later
alterations, it still ranks along with Granada as one of the two most
splendid examples of Islamic art and architecture in western Europe. |
