Overview of your Granada tour:

On this tour I will show you the beauty of the Alpujarras. They are situated on the south of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain. The little villages seem to hold on like eyries to the mountains. They have been completely isolated through centuries due to their difficult access. When Granada was reconquered in 1492 by the Catholic Kings, the Alpujarras got the last area of retreat for the muslims. During the next decades there took place many fights between the christians and the muslims, but in 1568 the christians reached to expell a lot of them. Nevertheless this region could preserve a lot of their typical architecture and rich agriculture on terrasses. The air you breath is poorer and life is less hectic. People keep their old traditions, ways of life and professions. We will visit some craftsman workshops, explore some of the villages, enjoy the wonderful landscape on a short and easy walking tour and we taste the typical gastronomy, including wine, cheese and ham. In the afternoon - back to Granada.

Your Granada tour itinerary

The driver and me will pick you up at your accomodation. - We will leave Granada towards the south and we enter into the Alpujarras through Lanjaron, the so called door of the Alpujarra (30 min). - We continue into the Taha area (45 min). This area of little villages around Pitres is ideal for a short hiking tour. I can adapt it to your needs. While we walk through the landscape and the streets of its villages you can admire the architecture with its houses of cubique forms and the richness in water in the area. It's very relaxing and beautiful. (1, 5 hs) - We drive to Pampaneira or Capilleira for a quick lunch or in a restaurant with local food or in form of "tapas", that means tasting local food in an old wine cellar. (1, 5 hs) - It also existes the possibility to visit a museum about the local history and traditions. (30 min) - After lunch we will visit another little village and have a look at the local craftsman workshops. (30 min) - Way back to Granada (1, 15 hs)
