White Villages of Granada. Alpujarra Day Trip from Granada

After pickup from your hotel or apartment, we'll drive through lush, unspoiled landscapes dotted with dazzling white villages, which make up the Alpujarra region of Granada. We'll pass terraced hillsides filled with olive groves, vineyards, and almond and citrus groves.

The area has a fascinating historical legacy and is known throughout Spain for the medicinal qualities of its waters. The Alpujarra is a large valley that stretches westward between the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Sierra de Lújar, Contraviesa, and Gádor mountains, with the Mediterranean coast on its southern side. We'll visit Lanjarón. This spa town is famous for its numerous springs, each accompanied by a quote or poem by Federico García Lorca. Afterward, we'll continue past Órgiva, the regional capital. Our first stop will be Capileira, one of the highest villages in Spain, where we'll wander through its narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses. A maze of winding streets will allow us to discover the unique "tinaos" architecture, a characteristic feature of the entire region.

We continue our journey to Pampaneira, where we'll stop to enjoy a traditional Alpujarra meal. You'll have free time to explore this typical Moorish-style village filled with narrow, winding streets, flat roofs, and distinctive chimneys, as well as visit a traditional loom where the famous "jarapas" are made.

Before returning to Granada, we'll visit Lanjarón and the historic center to discover the city of springs.
