Exploring the Sierra Nevada and the Hidden Gems of Las Alpujarras
Embark on an unforgettable hiking journey through the Sierra Nevada's breathtaking landscapes and the Las Alpujarras's picturesque villages.
This 8-day adventure perfectly blends physical challenge, cultural immersion, and natural beauty. From rugged mountain peaks to tranquil valleys, you'll traverse ancient Moorish paths, wander through charming white-washed villages, and ascend some of the region's most spectacular peaks.
Beginning in the scenic village of Capileira, nestled in the heart of the Poqueira Gorge, you'll explore historic routes and irrigation canals, pass by terraced fields, and immerse yourself in Andalusia's rich cultural heritage. Each day presents new opportunities for discovery, from the high-altitude peaks like Peña de los Papos and Trevenque to the peaceful riverside trails along the Trevelez River and the historic Moorish settlements of La Taha.
Whether challenging yourself on the more demanding ascents or opting for gentler yet equally rewarding walks, this trip promises incredible vistas, encounters with traditional rural life, and a deep connection to the natural world. With the famous Iberian ham of Trevelez to fuel you and charming accommodations to welcome you each evening, this trip is an ideal choice for hiking enthusiasts and lovers of both nature and culture.
Experience the essence of southern Spain on this unique, multi-level hiking tour—where the mountains meet history and adventure await at every turn.
