Guejar Sierra
This small village can be seen from the road as you climb the mountain towards Sierra Nevada. Situated next to a reservoir, this village is typical of these mountains.
Itīs narrow streets are of moorish origin. The lanes climb up and down the hill side, bending too and fro like a goat track and occasionaly darting underneath someones house. The streets are lined with pot plants which provide a stunning contrast to the white washed walls.
The buildings that line the streets have great character. There walls are rarely vertical or straight, with small windows that seem to have been placed randomly.
Guejar Sierra is no more than a half hour drive from Sierra Nevada and 15 minutes from Granada.
