Where the sierra descends towards the sea among vines, lime-wash and verse.
In the heart of the Sierra de la Contraviesa, Murtas looks out over the sea from its 1,100 metres of altitude. Steep lime-washed streets, Muscat-grape vineyards, almond trees in blossom, El Cerrajón in the distance and some of the cleanest skies in Europe for stargazing. This is where the Casa Museo del Trovo y Aguardiente stands.
A peaceful village with a strong wine-making tradition, famed for its local wine and its Alpujarra cuisine. Among caves, trails and a pine wood with picnic areas, it is the perfect place to unwind between whitewashed walls. This is where Casa Cuadra stands, some 15 minutes from the sea.
In La Alpujarra poetry is improvised and sung. The trovo is a duel of verses —octosyllabic quintillas— that still today brings trovadores together at festivals and evening gatherings. The Casa Museo del Trovo y Aguardiente, in Murtas, preserves and celebrates this living tradition.
Two separate villages in the Sierra de la Contraviesa, where the mountain descends towards the Mediterranean among vineyards and almond trees. The Casa Museo del Trovo y Aguardiente is in Murtas; Casa Cuadra is in Albondón. Clean air, starry skies and the sea close at hand.
