Cafe Fa Re in Ferreirola: cute!
Ferreirola by night, by Ishii Takashi
Ferreirola in La Alpujarra is such a tiny, sleepy village it´s easy to walk through it without noticing all the stuff that´s, quietly, going on. I say walk, because there´s no way you can accidentally drive through Ferreirola. It´s quite a long, difficult way to get there and the road ends here. Rather romantic, I think!
It´s mostly a village for the walking people, as the GR 7 goes right through it. The walk through the valley to Busquistar is lovely and takes about 45 minutes. You can also walk to Fondales. Much shorter!
>>>Restaurante El Pantano, Lake Viñuela: very nice indeed!
>>>La cueva de la mora luna – Mecina, La Taha
There´s a cute little coffee and tea place in Ferreirola, called Cafe Fa Re. Just follow the signs that say cafe and you´ll find it. They have cakes, all sorts of tea and also just beer (well, Mahou anyway 
) and tapas. The tables are made of medieval looking doors, which I thought was a nice touch.
Also in Ferreirola: a workshop where they make beautiful Flamenco dresses, a famous guitar maker and the home for part of the year of Japanese painter Takashi Ishii. I LOVE his paintings, and if you ask nicely, he´might just let you have a look around his workshop.
