Melegís Is a beautiful village located at the heart of the Lecrin Valley. Surrounded by citrus groves and with a number of houses with orchard gardens, makes Melegís an exceptionally green village. There are two small supermarkets in the village and two bakeries (one on the main road). There are two bar/restaurants within easy walking distance, both on the main road: Los Naranjos is on the lower side of the village and has a very pleasant outside terrace with lovely views and Nuevo Valle on the opposite side of the road further up the hill, which also has a large outside terrace. Both serve good quality local food and very good tapas. Melegís is interesting to walk around; it has some imposing buildings, a lovely church and is characterised by the number of huertos or orchards within the village itself. The sixteenth century church which has recently been restored is definitely worth a visit! Below the village is a maze of small lanes through the orange groves and it is possible to find a ruined Moorish castle at the entrance to the gorge on the Rio Dúrcal. Good walking here and up into the hills. Melegís celebrates the Fiesta de Las Naranjas
in early April and San Antonio in mid June. Back to the villages of the Lecrin Valley
