The municipality of Busquístar forms part of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada, and is located in its southern slope, surrounded by one of the largest chestnut forests in the area. It shares the typical features of all Alpujarra villages, i.e. a single type of architecture in the buildings, adapted to the structure of the land and to the climate of the area, which is characterized by narrow streets where the memory lingers of the Moorish past.

In the heart of the Alpujarra, a unique natural connection between the Mediterranean coast and Sierra Nevada, towered by the highest peaks of the Peninsula, lies Busquí­star, a place worth visiting.
