Welcome to the Lecrin Valley, a region which is the essence of Spain, possessing a unique beauty, diversity and culture. The Valley is midway between the Costa Tropical, famous for its verdant cultivation of exotic fruits and sugar cane, and the city of Granada, home to the Alhambra and the Albaicin, two of Spain’s most potent historic attractions.
For its sheer variety alone, Granada remains one of the best places in Spain to come on holiday, to live your retirement, or to bring up your family. Home to the last empire of Spain’s Moorish era, Granada was finally taken by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492 after more than 700 years of Moorish civilisation, which shaped the city and the area we know today. “Lecrin” is the Arabic for “Happiness”, so come to Happy Valley, and relax in the sun.
All of Granada’s attractions are within easy reach of the Valley, as are the various beaches and resorts of the Costa Tropical. Last but not least, the south facing villages of the Sierra Nevada are also a short drive away. This area, know as the Alpujarra, has been written about by Gerald Brenan (“South from Granada”) and Chris Stewart (“Driving Over Lemons”).
