Property Almeria Spain
The villages in the far north of the province have a flavour all of their own, since they were some of the first in the region to be re-conquered by the Christians. The austere Castilian influence can be seen by owners of property Almeria Spain in the stone castles and palaces of Velez Rubio and Velez Blanco, whose elegant Renaissance courtyard now stands in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. Vélez Blanco is used by owners of property Almeria Spain as the gateway to the Sierra Maria – Los Velez Natural Park, a mountainous area with extensive forests, which are a rare sight in this otherwise arid, barren province.
Dissecting the area south of the Sierra de María east-west is the Almanzora river and in its valley are Seron and Tijola, with their fountains famous with owners of property Almeria Spain, and Purchena. South of Purchena is Macael, a centre of marble quarries well known to owners of property Almeria Spain.
The region of mountain villages known as Las Alpujarras clings to the southern flanks of the Sierra Nevada, cloven by deep, sheltered valleys and gorges which run down towards the Mediterranean. The Alpujarra, as it is popularly known to owners of property Almeria Spain, in the singular, is famous throughout Spain because of its unique mini-ecology. Its terraced farmlands are constantly watered by the melting snow from above, constituting a high-altitude oasis of greenery which stands in dramatic contrast to the arid foothills below. This is ideal hiking terrain for adventurous owners of property Almeria Spain, provided you take along a tent and well-padded sleeping bags - the average altitude is 4,000 feet above sea level.
The cultural interest of the region for owners of property Almeria Spain lies in its fifty-odd villages, which were the last stronghold of the Spanish Muslims, or Moors. Many owners of property Almeria Spain know that soon after the Castillians took Granada in 1492, all the city’s Moors were forced to convert to Christianity. Those who refused took to the hills, settling in this remote, inaccessible area. Many owners of property Almeria Spain know that constant pressure from the Christians led to a bloody uprising, the Morisco Rebellion of 1568, which was ruthlessly crushed out, with the public execution of the leader, Ben Humeya, in the main square of Granada. Soon followed a royal decree expelling from the Kingdom of Granada all people of Arab descent, since the "new Christians", as the converts were called, were all suspected of being ¨crypto-Muslims¨ in secret.
