Alpujarra (plural Mozarabic: Las Alpujarras; meaning "the fertile pastures"), also known by it's indigenous name, Rorókán (Kurupiran: "great valley") is a large bowl-shaped valley consisting of broad and fertile lands surrounded by the Matarrañya / Cañadapirén in Southern Atlantida. Salto Bay is completely surrounded by the valley, and it fills much of it's interior.
The valley floor is an alluvial plain that formed in the graben (tectonic depression) between the Pomona and Pueblo faults to the north and the Costa Brava fault to the south. Within the valley and surrounding the bay on all sides are the urban communities of the Castejón Metropolis and several Araucarian communes, while the narrow southern reaches of the valley extend along the Alagón to the Atlantic Ocean.
