Its climate is second in its equable range only to that of its coast towns, Motril and Malaga.
Already many mule-teams, heavily laden with merchandise from the coast-town of Motril, were wending their laborious way inland.
At Motril, between Malaga and Almeria, the maximum is 77, and the minimum 52.
Far inland, and separated from Motril by the mountain mass, is Baza (13,500).
Trevelez is the other side and the most convenient coming from Malaga by way of Motril.
