Savor the authentic Alpujarra dish in Capileira on a route through the heart of La Alpujarra

To the south of Sierra Nevada, where the mountain begins to dissolve into valleys and ravines, La Alpujarra preserves one of the most singular ways of life in Andalusia. White villages nestled on the slope, acequias that still carry the water from the melting snow and agricultural terraces that shape the landscape as they did centuries ago.

The route from Granada delves into the Barranco de Poqueira crossing the historic Puente de Tablate, an ancient natural entrance to this mountain region, leaving behind Lanjarón and Órgiva until reaching the heart of the valley.

In Pampaneira, the cobblestone streets preserve the traditional architecture among artisan shops and cold water sources. In Pórtugos, the Fuente Agria appears in the middle of the forest with its characteristic reddish color. And in Trevélez, the highest village in La Alpujarra, the dry air of the mountain continues to slowly cure the hams in open drying houses facing the mountain.

The experience continues to Capileira, where you enjoy a traditional lunch based on the authentic alpujarreño dish and seasonal recipes, with free time to stroll through the village.

It is not a route to be traveled, but a landscape to be crossed.
