What to expect

On this half-day tour, you'll marvel at dramatic scenery and be enchanted by picturesque hilltop villages. The Alpujarras nestles at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and were for years a little-known secret. You'll see Lanjaron, Portugos, Trevelez and Pampaneira, with plenty of free time to explore.

Your day begins in Lanjarón, where you can relax with a coffee and take in the stunning panoramic views. As we continue to Pórtugos, you'll have the chance to taste the unique 'Fuente Agria' water, known for its orange hue due to its rich iron and mineral content. Next, we head to Trevélez, famous for its ham drying facilities. Here, you'll get an insider's look at the impressive process and savor some of their renowned cured hams.

Finally, we visit Pampaneira, one of Spain's most beautiful villages. With its steep, cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and rich Arab history, Pampaneira is a true gem. You'll see traditional looms in action, producing the famous Alpujarran rugs, visit an ancient laundry area, and taste the region's most beloved chocolate.
