Leave the bustle of Granada and journey into the Alpujarra, a serene mountain range clinging to the Sierra Nevada's southern slopes. This full-day cultural immersion explores the profound heritage preserved in the region's architecture and spirit.
You will wander the labyrinthine streets of the iconic white villages—Pampaneira, Capileira, and Portugos. Your expert guide will highlight the unique building styles, defined by the flat, slate roofs (terraos) and the characteristic covered passageways (tinaos), which speak to centuries of resilient Moorish influence.
The scenic route offers breathtaking panoramic vistas across deep gorges, an unforgettable contrast to the city. This is your chance to breathe the pure mountain air, connect with local artisans, and discover the authentic, unspoiled soul of Spain.
The tour will be conducted in English and Spanish.
