There are plenty of attractions in the alpujarra and the surrounding area. In the summer months you are just 45mins from the nearest beach and in the winter you are just 45mins from Puerto de la Ragua where you can go sledging and cross country skiing. All the equipment can be hired on the spot and there is a local restaurant. If you enjoy walking you have access to miles of routes including the GR7 which passes through the village of Valor (10 mins from Ugijar). If you fancy something more strenuous then an hours drive to Trevelez will give you access to Mulhacen the highest peak in the Iberian peninsula. However, if you prefer, Trevelez is a lovely place to visit in its own right. It is here that they cure some of the best serrano ham in Spain.
Of course one place not to miss is the Alhambra in Granada. This is about a 2hr drive from Ugijar via el puerto de la Ragua. We've done this journey a number of times and it is both beautiful and spectacular.
