The Alpujarra is unique in Spain. This area is a natural and historical area unlike any other part of Europe. The Alpujarra lies on the southern, sunny side of the Sierra Nevada and consists of an area of beautiful white villages interconnected with stunning walks amidst orchards watered by melting snow.
Our base is one of the “pueblos bonitos de Espana”, Capileira, an outstandingly pretty village 4500 feet above sea level with unique architecture deriving from many centuries ago and similar to the villages of the rif mountains of morocco.
Today Capileira is the base for many outdoor activities in this region, hiking, cycling and horse riding. Due to the height of this region, it can be enjoyed most times of the year. The Alpujarra is nestled in the foothills of the highest area in Spain. several mountains exceed 10,000 feet and the highest in mainland Spain is Mulhacen at 11,424 feet.
The walking in this area is exhilarating and varied, from lower level walks linking the villages to higher level hikes even to the top of Mulhacen.
Capileira village offers everything one needs for a week in the mountains, rustic hotels and restaurants serving hearty dishes such as the plato alpujareno, and local bars adorned with hanging hams.
