Bubion is in the La Alpujarra region of Granada is unique, about twenty miles from the Costa del Sol. The climate is warm and sunny with crystal-clear, blue skies throughout most of the year. The mountain air here is the cleanest in Europe and because of the altitude, the heat in mid-summer is not overbearing.

The area has a stunning natural beauty, dominated by the magnificent rugged peaks of Spain's highest mountain range, the Sierra Nevada. The foothills of these southern slopes are cut by deep, fertile valleys, rich with groves of almond, olive, oranges and lemons, with cherry orchards and terraced pastures. In every direction there are panoramic views, from the spectacular snow-capped peaks of Veleta and Mulhacen, to the coastal hills. And at sunset, the Moroccon Rif Mountains can sometimes be clearly seen over 120 miles away across the Mediterranean.

The region has the largest number of unique botanical species in Europe, and herds of mountain goats, wild boar, eagles, goshawks and partridge inhabit the sierra. The area has been declared a Natural Park by the Government of Andalucia and UNESCO has granted it Biosphere Reserve status.

The historic city of Granada with its magnificent Arab palace and gardens, La Alhambra, is just an hour away by car. And there is excellent skiing on the Sierra Nevada slopes, the venue of the 1996 World Alpine Ski Championships. So you can ski in the morning, sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon and still have time to enjoy dinner and a drink in a local restaurant.
