Lanjaron holidays – Gateway to Las Alpujarras
Lanjaron holidays are based in a small traditional spa town famous for its mineral waters. Lanjaron is 1500 metres up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, 25 miles from Granada and just 22 miles from the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Lanjaron is known as the gateway to Las Alpujarras, and Lanjaron holidays are well-placed for exploring this gorgeous region of dramatic picturesque white villages clinging to steep mountain slopes. Las Alpujarras is a wonderfully peaceful unspoilt area that still retains immense charm: a world away from the scene on the Costa del Sol. Holidays in Lanjaron offer comfortable accommodation in converted country houses and rural hotels, a surprisingly large selection of local bars and restaurants and even a disco. Lanjaron has a Moorish old quarter and a bustling centre with plenty of shops selling local produce, including excellent wines, ham and cheese. Lanjaron holidays could include a visit to the spa which offers a range of health treatments. If you are lucky your holidays in Lanjaron will include one of the region’s lively and picturesque local fiestas. Holidays in Lanjaron enjoy a wonderful sunny mountain climate with radiant light and pure air, delightfully fresh in the summer.
Holidays in Lanjaron – Combine Granada, the mountains and the coast
While other villages in Las Alpujarras are smaller and prettier they are much deeper into the mountains, and time-consuming tortuous roads make trips to Granada and the coast less practical than from Lanjaron. Holidays in Lanjaron can make good use of excellent road connections for visiting Costa del Sol beaches and the fabulous city of Granada with its world-famous Arab palace and gardens, La Alhambra. Lanjaron holidays are also ideally placed for exploring the beautiful lesser-known villages of the Lecrin Valley and its gorgeous countryside full of lemon and orange trees. Local buses travel into the Alpujarras and to Granada and the coast.
