Alqueria de Morayma is located in Cádiar in the South side of Sierra Nevada. From Alqueria de Morayma you can see the South area of the Sierra Nevada National Park, as well as the villages of Lobras, Tímar, Nieles, Narila, Alcutar, Juviles and Bérchules.
Cádiar is one of the commercial centres of the area, with street market on the 3rd and the 18th every month. Its traditional pastries are also very typical in the area.
Bérchules is full of fountains and squares. The Church Square was built in 1530 on the remains of an old mosque.
Tímar, although without many inhabitants, has beautiful streets with arches and Alpujarreña traditional architecture. It is famous because of its traditional textiles.
Valor is known because Don Fernado de Valor y Córdoba, also known as Abén Humeya, was born here. He fought against the king and the Christians in 1568, but finally the moorish were defeated, so they had to leave, This is reflected in the traditional festivity of Moros y Cristianos.
