Size: 65m2 Terraces: 57m2 VelÉz de Benaudalla lies on the banks of river Guadalfeo where it flows after descending from the Alpujarra between the Sierra de LÚjar and the Sierra de GuÁjares. This village retains much of its Moorish past with its Nasrid Gardens that are a subtle combination of water, trees and garden flowers.Away from the tourist traps yet perfectly placed to take full advantage of what wonderful, romantic Andalucia has to offer. The city contains a splendid example of a Spanish-Moorish garden in the style of the Nasrid dynasty, the last Moors to rule the kingdom of Granada. With its fountains, hidden waterfalls and exuberant vegetation, no wonder it is catalogued as part of the Artistic Heritage of Andalusia.The narrow streets and alleys of the upper quarter of VÉlez are a further attraction of this beautiful village, where water can be heard everywhere, the Tajo waterfall and the Paseo del Nacimiento (path to the source of the river) are particularly admired. The gastronomy in VÉlez is famed, but outstanding are the sweets and pastries still made in the Moorish style, such as pestiÑos (honey-coated pancakes) and roscos (ring cakes). The fifteenth-century castle, with an unusual heptagonal floor plan, is not just an illustrious monument from the past, but is also the site of a simulated battlefield between Christian and Turkish warriors, a ritual enacted every year on 13th June as part of the village fiestas.
