Lanjarón, Pórtugos, Capilerilla, Pampaneira & Trevélez star in this excursion to the villages of the Alpujarra. You can choose between two different routes. You won't be able to stop taking pictures!

Options

When booking, you can choose between two different options. Both start at Plaza de las Descalzas at the indicated time and last from 7 to 8 hours:

Lanjarón, Pórtugos, Capilerilla & Pampaneira Excursion

If you choose this option, we'll get on a bus and leave the city center behind to head for the Alpujarra Granadina, a region stretching along the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada famous for its beautiful and charming villages.

The first stop will be at the Nasrid bridge of Tablate, where we'll begin to learn about the links of these lands with Muslim culture. We'll remember the times of Al Andalus as we approach Lanjarón, a village famous for its miraculous waters. We'll head to its castle to further delve into the relationship of the Arabs with Alpujarra.

Afterward, we'll head to an incredible viewpoint that will offer us one of the best views of the Poqueira Valley, the Guadalfeo Valley and the Sierra Nevada. Time for some photos!

We'll continue the excursion through Alpujarra towards Pórtugos to visit one of its great tourist attractions, the Fuente Agria spring and the Chorreón waterfall. After this visit, we'll continue our journey to Capilerilla, where we'll see what rural life is like today. We'll stroll through fruit orchards, see an old washhouse and learn about the local architecture.

The last stop of the day will be in Pampaneira, one of the highest altitude villages in Spain and Europe. We'll leave you an hour and a half of free time to have lunch and explore this beautiful village full of white houses at your own pace.

Trevélez, Pampaneira & Pórtugos Excursion

Booking this route, we'll also visit the Nasrid bridge of Tablate, the viewpoint of the Poqueira Valley, and Pórtugos. The trip will then take us to Trevélez, the highest altitude village in the Alpujarra Granadina. We'll stroll through this whitewashed village and let ourselves be enchanted by the beauty of its church and fountains. We'll also learn all about its pride and joy with a visit to an Alpujarran ham curing room with a tasting session included.

In Trevélez, you'll also have an hour free to get some lunch. Once you've had something to eat, we'll head to Pampaneira. This village is considered one of the most beautiful in Spain and one of the most iconic spots in the Alpujarra.

You'll have one hour of free time in Pampaneira so you can wander around its charming streets. We recommend exploring the 16th-century Parish Church of Santa Cruz, the old washing places, and Paseo de Federico García Lorca.
