With less pointy mountains but equally captivating is the Alpujarras mountain range, immediately to the south of the Sierra Nevada. Beautiful gorges, lush vegetation and natural springs that can be enjoyed in a day but would need a month to explore fully.

Caves and beautiful coast line greet you south of Granada. Public transport to Nerja and the coast in general is quite poor, so unless you are hiring a car, I recommend taking this Guided Tour of Nerja from Granada.

With more than half the population of Gaudix living in caves, Gaudix is a curiosity worthy of a visit. - Jaen
