What to expect
Day 1
A cultural tour of the Alpujarras offers a captivating journey through stunning landscapes and rich traditions. Starting from the city of Granada, we embark on a scenic drive toward the village Trevélez located in the heart of the Natural Park Sierra Nevada. The town is considered one of the highest in Spain and is renowned for its high-quality ham. We will visit a traditional ham drying room “Secadero”, where you will learn about curing ham and finish with an Iberian ham tasting.
Afterward, we continue our journey through the picturesque Alpujarras, heading towards the village Pórtugos to see the beautiful orange waterfall called “Fuente Agria” which means Fountain of Sourness. Traditionally, this water is used by the people in the Alpujarras for medicinal purposes due to the high concentration of minerals in the water.
Next, we go to the enchanting three white villages “Pampaneira, Bubión, and Capileira”. The villages, with their distinctive whitewashed buildings and narrow, winding streets, offer a glimpse into the region’s Moorish heritage. Here, we enjoy a great lunch, savoring local cuisine in Capileira, the highest town of the three.
Later on, we stop in Pampaneira to have a little walk, buy local products, and enjoy the serene beauty of the surrounding mountains.
Before we head back to Granada, we stop one more time at “Puente de Tablate”, the bridge and Gateway to the Alpujarras. Over the centuries this site has been the key location in many battles.
This tour provides a perfect blend of cultural immersion and natural beauty, making it an unforgettable experience.
