Las Alpujarras day trip from Granada

Explore like never before with our Alpujarra day excursion from Granada. Immerse yourself in the majesty of the area from the heights as you uncover the authentic treasures of the region. A full-day journey awaits, taking you through the charming villages of Lanjarón, Pampaneira, Bubión, and Capileira, where history and natural beauty intertwine in unforgettable ways.

DESCRIPTION

After crossing the Tablate Bridge, already within the Alpujarra region, the first village is Lanjarón, famous for the quality of its medicinal waters, which give rise to one of Spain’s most highly-rated spas.

Lanjarón possesses the essential characteristic that defines the image of Alpujarran villages: a unique architecture in its houses, perfectly adapted to the rugged terrain and the climate of the area, arranged along narrow streets where the memory of its Moorish past endures.

The day trip continues towards Pampaneira, in the heart of the Poqueira Ravine, still retaining most of the distinctive features of the region. During the visit, we recognize its narrow and steep cobbled streets with water channels in the center, its traditional white houses with terraces and tinaos, or its looms and local craft shops.

Capileira, with its location and an altitude of almost one and a half thousand meters, offers us the best views of the ravine from the various viewpoints it possesses. From here, we can also enjoy spectacular panoramas of the peaks of Mulhacén and Veleta.

In Capileira, scattered throughout the village, we find several viewpoints, of which it is said that on sunny days, we can see all the way to the mountains of Africa.
