Alájar

A short walk from your cottage, along country lanes lined with stone walls, takes you to the pretty village of Alájar with its white houses and winding, cobbled streets. Some of the bars and restaurants stand out for their cosiness and character. High above the cluster of white houses towers la Peña de Arias Montano, a craggy cliff with a sixteenth century hermitage set on its peak.

Alájar’s name comes from the Arab word for stone, and the fact is that it is a stony peak that dominates the village and presides over the life and doings of its 836 inhabitants. This peak, called Peña de Arias Montano (after Philip II’s unorthodox minister who on retiring felt drawn to this land), next to the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de los Angeles, and the charming layout of the town of Alájar shines whitely, like the cut-out sillhouette of a giant lizard, against the green of the surrounding forests and meadows. You are visiting an area where fine specimens of Iberian swine are bred. You will find shops where you can buy all kinds of sausage meats, sausages, and of course, acorn-fed hams.
