Explore the beautiful region of the Alpujarras on this day-long fully-guided tour. We’ll drive through lush, pristine landscapes dotted with dazzlingly whitewashed villages, past terraced hillsides planted with olive trees, vineyards and almond and citrus groves. The area also has a fascinating historical legacy and is well-known throughout Spain for the qualities of its medicinal waters.
The Alpujurra itself a long valley running westwards between the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the Mountains of Lujar, Gador and Contraviesa and the Mediterranean coast to the south. After being picked up from your hotel we’ll head for the picturesque village of Lanjaron. This spa town is famous for its many fountains, each accompanied by a short phrase or poem by Federico Garcia Lorca. We’ll ride on to Orgiva, capital of the region.
From here we’ll continue our tour, passing through a succession of dazzlingly whitewashed villages, set in an emerald landscape. We’ll pass Caratuñas, Pampaneira, Pitres, Portugos as we climb to Trevelez, at 1486m, the highest village in Spain and renowned for its exquisite air-cured Iberian hams.
Then it’s on to Bubion and Capileira, hanging vertiginously over the impressive gorge of the Poqueira river. We’ll stop here for a traditional Alpujarran lunch and you’ll have time to explore this typical Moorish-style village with narrow, winding streets, flat roofs and characteristic chimney-pots before we return to Granada.
