Just south of the historic city of Granada and within roughly thirty minutes of the international airport there, the Lecrin Valley is a beautifully lush, green and fertile area. It’s the perfect place to embrace the rural Spanish way of life, enjoying the welcoming whitewashed villages or Pueblo Blanco that dot the hillsides and ooze tradition.
