Northwards
- the view elevates to the Sierra de Tejeda and Sierra Almijara
mountain ranges with the dominant peak of La Maroma watching over
them at a height of 2068 metres with the tips snow covered in
Winter.
Southwards
- we see the ever-changing blue of the Mediterranean, peeking
through the folds in the hills as they roll down the valleys below,
on their way to the coast, only 20km away.
To
the East - lies our small charming and historical village,
Sedella, with a population of 542. It is a typical Moorish village,
with examples of Mudejar architecture, with narrow winding streets
that carry the stamp of it's Moorish past. The history of Sedella
goes back to pre-historic times, and although no big archaeological
finds have been made, there is sufficient evidence to show that
people have lived here from time immemorial.
Off
to the West - the view is of rolling hillsides and valleys,
over which, birds of prey can often be seen enjoying soar and
search exercises in the thermals. Distant white villages can be
seen, nestling in the countours of the countryside, which turn
into twinkling triangles of lights when night falls.
