The book provides an extensive study of the Alpujarra region, found on the southern slopes of Granada’s Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is without a doubt the most ambitious work of its kind, employing a multidisciplinary approach and enabling the reader to thoroughly broaden their knowledge of the region. The book delves deeply into diverse topics such as the works of historically significant writers on the region, its harsh geography and chequered history, spanning from judicial and administrative reforms to the Moorish rebellion and subsequent Castillian resettlement during the Reconquista.

Manuel Titos Martínez’s book entitled Sierra Nevada: una gran historia has been chosen as the UGR book of the month for June 2016. The Sierra Nevada mountain range has been explored from the perspective of diverse branches within the natural sciences over the last number of decades (botany, geology, zoology, geography etc.). Martínez’s new study, however, delves deep into a less-explored area – the Sierra Nevada’s rich and fascinating history. The book encompasses everything from a history of the first inhabitants to settle in the Sierra, to economic, religious, environmental and war-related issues.
