Plato Alpujarreno refers to the typical dish of the Alpujarras. Blood sausages form part of the basic ingredients of this dish which is made from potatoes fried with onions, orza chine and fried eggs. The region of mountain villages known as Las Alpujarras clings to the southern flanks of the Sierra Nevada, cloven by deep, sheltered valleys and gorges which run down towards the Mediterranean.
