Additional Information

Explore Las Alpujarras, a region of unspoiled natural splendor. Dominated by the majesty of the Sierra Nevada’s rugged peaks, Spain’s tallest mountain range, Las Alpujarras is known for its beautiful weather and breathtaking scenery. Discover the enchanting white villages and the preserved architecture of the area’s first Moorish inhabitants. And of course, a trip to this region would be incomplete without sampling the reputed delicacies of the Alpujarras - the Trevélez ham, cheese, honey, and water. We’ll tour a local gourmet food store and get acquainted with the region’s best organic and handcrafted treats, with explanations and demonstrations of the process behind each product. If the option is selected, conclude the trip with a meal at one of the villages perched above the awe-inspiring Poqueira Mountains’ Ravine - Bubion or Capileira.

Had a great day in the Alpujarras - Had a great day with our guide Zaruk. During the bus ride to the different villages he would give explanations in both English and Spanish. Did a ham and cheese tasting in Trevelez and the owner of the shop was a fantastic guy. During lunch also got to know the others on the tour a bit. Would recommend.

Very interesting - I really liked the whole organization. The driver and the guide, the lunch and tasted it. Since the tour was bilingual, my only suggestion would be for the guide to make shorter monologues and move from one language to the other more quickly to make it more enjoyable and thus retain people's attention.

Fun learning experience! Michael is a great guide! - We had a wonderful experience! Didn't know what to expect when we booked it, as this visit to Andalucia was our first. We learned so much!, and appreciate the time Michael took to speak with us and educate us on the history and current lifestyle of the area. We were the only english speaking/non-Spanish speaking people in our group, and Michael made us feel very much a part of the group, offering us a little background to the information that he was sharing re:the areas we were traveling through - some background information that most Spanish educated peoples would have perhaps learned in school. We learned so much and enjoyed the day! Thank you Michael! ** if you get motion sickness - please please know that the road this journey takes is filled with switchbacks and ascentions&descentions. Michael is an excellent driver and was very kind to my situation. Take motion-sickness medicine with you if you have any previous experience with 'back-seat car sickness.' Better to have it and not use it, than to not have it and get to pharmacy at the upper hill towns!

Visit to the Alpujarras with Michael - We loved the visit to the Alpujarras, our guide Michael treated us wonderfully, he drove very well and the vehicle was very comfortable. It is obvious that Michael enjoys the charm of that area, all its customs and stories. Congratulations because the group was half in English and half in Spanish. Although I personally would have preferred it to be only in Spanish, I have to say that Michael defended it as best as possible. It's a pity that on Saturday there was haze and the landscapes were not seen in all their splendor, although you could sense that they were beautiful and all the towns have a lot of charm, I would highlight the town of Pampaneira and the sausage and cheese tasting in Trevelez. If I return to Granada, I will return to the Alpujarras.

Lovely visit to Las Alpujarras - Lovely experience full of sorpresas. Our guide was Michael from Granavision. We were a small tour of 6 . Michael took us to lots of interesting places, pointed out landmarks, shared lots of history and made the trip fun and friendly. He seemed to know most of the residents of Las Alpujarras towns and we left feeling like we had really experienced the places. Great lunch too!

What a beautiful trip! - Fantastic day trip with a brilliant tour guide Michael. From initial pick up until drop off 10 hours later, Michael was friendly, informative and ensured we were comfortable for the whole trip. The villages were stunning as was the drive, Michael also stopped off at some great view points so plenty of opportunities for some photos. We also had a great group of travellers, mixture of English, Spanish and French and Michael was able to switch between languages to ensure we knew all the information at each point! Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Granada.
