Hiking
Popular legend tells that a deputy campaigning for La Alpujarra asked the people of Pitres what they wanted for their town.
They asked for something impossible, perhaps out of distrust of the usually unfulfilled promises of politicians. But the deputy managed to get away with naming a mountain pass here, even though the locals had actually asked for a sea port.
