Fiercely beautiful sky-scraping mountains plummet to deep gorges zigzagged by ancient mule paths; tiny, scattered Alpujarran villages – the Moors' legacy to walkers – cling by their fingernails to the Sierra Nevada's hillsides. Ferreirola is one such pretty cluster, with a church, fountain, tranquillity and walking trails. Seek out Casa Ana, conjured up by Anne from the ghost of a 400-year-old house: whitewashed, flat-roofed, terracotta-floored in local style, but with chunky walls and underfloor heating better able to handle extremes of heat and cold. Simple, warm rooms, peppered with rich reds and mauves, welcome you back from the mountains; rain showers, in bathrooms lined with handmade tiles, invigorate. Some rooms have a terrace, there's a tumbling garden for a beer and breezy mountain views, and you can stroll to the restaurants. Casa Ana is a boon for walking holidays, Anne – herself a keen walker – can provide maps and guides: routes start straight from the door. Come for spring flowers, autumn colours, snow-capped mountains and glorious peace.
