Alpuharra

Have you ever had a desire to get rid of the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy nature, breathe fresh air, just relax and think about nothing? Alpujarra is the perfect place for this.

Just 30 minutes by car and you get into another world, leaving behind all the worries and constant desire to always and everywhere in time. Because of its inaccessibility for centuries, this region was famous for its rebellious spirit, becoming a haven for the last Emir of Granada.

Here, in 1568, sparks of the famous Morisco uprising, rebelled against the cruel conditions of Catholic rule, spread to most of the province.

Against the background of this historical past, we will pass through Lanjaron, famous for its mineral waters, stop in Pampaneira, a picturesque village in which only 350 people live, visit the sour springs of Portugos and Treveles, the highest mountainous village in Spain (1476 m), famous for its dried pig hams.

You will learn how the famous Spanish “hamun” is made, what conditions are needed for this, how much time it takes and, of course, you can try it. We are waiting for an amazing acquaintance with this mountainous region, its history, crafts, everyday life. The duration of the tour is about 8 hours.
