Street parties are still an integral way of life in the Alpujarras, and as the season begins, there's no better way to kick the summer into life than the wonderful festivities over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Wonderful Paella, cooked in the street, welcomes you to this lovely village, gives a typically spanish flavour to the celebrations...
In the greatest Spanish traditions too, the impromptu outside bar serves all and sundry to all hours....
One of the great things about this region is how welcoming the locals are to those from outside the area - people really are what its all about here, and the chance to mingle with those from all over the world, but also from right here in Murtas, in an atmosphere of celebration is one that leaves a lasting impression....
This is a great chance to really get to meet the locals, and feel the true sense of hospitality that this region is steeped in...
Bank holiday in the UK anyone...?
Wonderful, home made Paella- a real welcome to the Alpujarras.
Eagerly awaited....
when word gets out - parking gets to be a nightmare!!
Leave some for me Mum....?
