Local Area Details

Berchules is a small village just off the mountain road that links the high villages of the eastern Alpujarras – Trevelez, Juviles, Mecina Bombaron, Yegen and Valor. It is a sleepy village with about 800 inhabitants. It is a typical Alpujarran village built on the hillside with narrow streets, fountains of fresh mountain spring water, small squares and whitewashed houses.
It is about 1400 m above sea level so the air is fresh and cool in the evenings. It has a small selection of shops, a few bars, a handful of restaurants, a couple of banks that open part-time through the week and a hotel.
Berchules is a good base for touring the eastern Alpujarras and there are miles of walking straight from the village. Las Alpujarras are in the top twenty world walking destinations and you can walk out into the mountains straight from the door of La Casa
The Alpujarras are a curious and little known part of Spain. Set below the snow topped Sierra Nevada, the hills run east to west with a series of whitewashed villages clinging to the hillside. You can spend your holiday exploring these villages and enjoying the tapas, local wine and many festas.
Granada is about 90 minutes away so a visit to the Alhambra is a must.
The Mediterranean can be seen from the house on clear days and there are a number of resorts for days out.
