About 16 km from Laroles lies Yegen, one of the most internationally known villages in the Alpujarra, thanks to the English writer Gerald Brenan. After exploring parts of the Alpujarra, Brenan settled in this village and conducted an excellent anthropological and cultural study, which he documented in his highly recommended book "South from Granada". Here, you can still find the house where he stayed between 1920 and 1934.
