Alpujarras

On Sunday we went to the Alpujarras, a region of the Sierra Nevada located just outside Granada. It's kind of hard to explain what it is, it's not a city or town, it's just a remote (but very beautiful) region in the mountains that contains many little towns that have retained many of their historic influences. The white buildings are a typical of the region as are many hand crafts, hams, olives, and honey.
