White Mules and Mountains: Snapshots of Alpujarran Life

Hello. My name is Ruth Wade. If you've read my articles in Living Spain magazine you'll already know a little about me and my passion for the region of Southern Spain known as Las Alpujarras. If you stick around here for a while you'll end up knowing an awful lot more. This web site is devoted to my book White Mules and Mountains: Snapshots of Alpujarran Life which is a collection of impressions and stories of the people whose warmth, integrity and love of loud fireworks spans the centuries.

Just click on any one of the 7 images above and you can find what it is about this very special place that I love so much. Welcome to my world!
