White Villages of Granada Private Day Trip

The Alpujarra is a long valley that extends to the west between the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the Sierra de Lújar, Contraviesa, and Gádor. After the pick-up at your hotel, we will go to the picturesque town of Lanjarón. This spa is famous for its numerous fountains, each accompanied by a short phrase or poem by Federico García Lorca. Then we will continue towards Orgiva, the capital of the region.

Our tour will run alongside a succession of dazzlingly white villages, located in the middle of a unique emerald landscape of Granada. We will pass by the towns of Caratuñas, Pampaneira, Pitres, and Pórtugos as we climb to Trevelez, which, with 1,486 meters of altitude, is one of the highest villages in Spain and is also famous for its exquisite Iberian hams cured in the air.

Then we will continue the trip to Bubión and Capileira, two villages that hang vertiginously on the impressive gorge of the Poqueira River. Here we will stop to enjoy a traditional Alpujarra meal, and you will have free time to explore this typical Arab style village, full of narrow winding streets, flat roofs, and characteristic chimneys, before returning to Granada.
