Quiet little Bubion, set midway up the Poqueira Gorge, gets quieter still in the oldest, lower quarter where the 15th century church and square are to be found. Here, where the road ends and becomes a footpath down to neighbouring Pampaneira, is this simple, pleasant home for two people.

The old, traditional, well-kept house is nicely hidden away around a corner where it faces south and west down the steep, wide Poqueira gorge and across the mountain range to the distant Mediterranean Sea. Unpretentious yet comfortable, it represents excellent value and provides a perfect base for  exploring La Alpujarra.

An open-plan downstairs area combines living, dining and cooking with an open fireplace by which you can sit in comfort and soak up the atmosphere of the ancient Moorish district. A child can be accommodated on a sofa bed here and the shower room/WC is also on this floor.

A wooden staircase rises to an open gallery overlooking the living room, where a double bed is set alongside a small sitting area, and a balcony offers stunning views not only of the mountains but down the deep valley, too. Sunsets occasionally permit glimpses of the Rif Mountains in Morocco.

Bubion is a well-preserved village, one of the better known of all the pretty white villages in La Alpujarra. Its shops and bars are mostly to be found is in the topmost  part of the village, through which the mountain road passes on its way up to Capileira and the Sierra Nevada National Park. It is popular with those seeking peace and quiet and has great options for hiking, horse riding, as well as visits to Granada and the Alhambra, or the Mediterranean coast.

If you prefer not to hire a car, it's possible to get here by bus from Granada, although note that the bus service is limited.
