Saving Money When You Are At Your
Holiday Destination
By Rudi
The Poniente Granadino is in the centre of Andalusia (Spain).
It is located between the city of Malaga and the Costa del Sol
on the one side and the city of Granada and the Sierra Nevada
on the other one. Its strategic situation means that the traveller
can visit several major historical centres of Andalusia in single
day trips. The Poniente Granadino is weIl located to visit the
highlights in Andalusia: Sevilla, Cordoba, Ronda, Sierra Nevada,
the Alpujarras, Malaga, the Costa del Sol and of course, the city
of Granada with the beautiful arabian palaces and gardens of the
Alhambra.
Mayor attractions
The cultural richness of Poniente Granadino is shown in the declaration
of some historical towns by the Andalusian Autonomous Government:
Loja, Alhama, Montefrio and Moclin. Alhama is a major spa, a paradise
of vegetation and water with thermal springs that gush out at
47C. The therapeutic value of the waters was already well known
by the Romans and the Arabs. A network of rivers and streams criss-crosses
the region. Over the centuries they have eaten away at the rocks
to form spectacular valleys and gorges like those in Alhama, Cacin,
Montefrio, Loja and Moclin.
A touch of history
Poniente Granadino is known as 'The last arabian frontier of Spain'.
This slogan represents the important role that these towns and
their people played during the final years of the Nasrid Kingdom
of Granada, the last muslim presence in Spain. Remains of the
moorish cvilization
as well as archeological vestiges
that go back to paleolithic times, together with buildings made
after the Christian conquer are splitted out through the landscape.
Activities
The region offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Donkey riding
in Tajo de Alhama, trout fishing in Riofrio, off-road driving,
pony-trekking and mountan-biking in the Sierra de Loja and the
Natural Park of Sierra de Tejeda, Alhama and Almijara, hiking
in Montefrio, gliding from the Cuesta de la Palma aerodrome in
Loja or climbing in the 'Paso de la Burra' in Loja are just a
few. The differences of altitude means vast array of different,
breathtaking scenarios for the nature lover.
Cuisine
The history and tradition of the Poniente Granadino are reflected
in its local dishes. Meat is an essential part of such well-known
delights as 'choto al ajillo' or veal with garlic, a dish of fairly
certan moorish orgin, and pork stuffing and sausages. During the
hunting season, partridge and rabbit form the basis of the dishes
in the north of the region. In the centre of the region the two
most outstanding specialities are the green-violet asparagus from
Huetor-Tajar and trout from Riofrio. In the south of the region
the traveller cannot afford to miss the delicious 'Olla jamena',
eaten with wine produced in Alhama. Also highly appreciated are
the sweetmeats produced by monasteries, featuring such mouth-watering
delights as 'Roscos de San Anton' o, 'Bienmesabe', and the 'Rosco
de Alhahud'.
