Espacio Brenan

Las Alpujarras


On the main road, the old Fonda de Manuel Juliana is where Gerald Brenan stayed upon first arriving in Yegen in the 1920s. It's now a small, fascinating museum filled with photos of village life between the 1950s and 1990s by Danish photographer Vagn Hansen (Juan El Dinamarca). No official opening hours; if next-door bar El Tinao is open, pop in for a coffee and ask for the key.
