Saleres is considered one of the most authentic of the whitewashed hillside pueblos in the Valle de Lecrin. Its layout has not changed since it was last occupied by the Moors at the end of the15th century
There is a remarkable sense of peacefulness and tranquility here, as if time has stood still. No noise from traffic or aircraft, just birdsong only occasionally punctured by religious fiestas with music and fireworks
It is a wonderful village to stroll around, or from which to venture through the surrounding groves of citrus, almond and olives or along the footpath by the river. Andalucia's 1,250 kilometre GR7 footpath passes directly through Saleres - it offers spectacular views
