After pick-up, we will drive 1.5 hours to Pampaneira.
The first stop of our excursion will be Pampaneira. After driving for a little less than 1,5 hours, we will arrive to this beautiful small village located in the foothills of the south face of the Sierra Nevada. Strolling through its narrow streets with their unique architecture will make you feel like you are in a fairy tale. We will visit a handicraft store to see the famous "jarapas" made right there, carpets of all colors unique to the area. After the walking tour you will have some free time if you want to buy some local products, such as honey or wine.
In Capileria, the highest village we will visit (4,711 ft) we will continue to learn more about the history of this place. We will make a small hiking tour to see the famous "cortijos", the typical country houses that, although less and less, are still used in La Alpujarra. From here we can enjoy the beauty of the valley and see the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada.
Lunch time
Our second stop is Bubion, just 5 minutes driving from Pampaneira. In Bubion we will enter the "Casa Museo Alpujarreña", a house converted into a museum to understand from the inside what life was like in the Alpujarra until very recently and how it still is for many of its neighbors. We will see how were the kitchens, bedrooms and day to day life. We will also walk through Bubión and talk about the Alpujarras War, a conflict between Moors and Christians crucial to understand the history of Spain.
After finishing our tour, we will drive 1.5 hours to return to Granada.
Jose was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgable of the area. He tailored the tour to what we wanted (small villages, ham factory, chocolate and olive oil tastings) and was very kind with our kids.
Jaime was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable of the villages we visited, the area of the Sierra Nevadas and nature and history. He is very personable and speaks very good English. We highly recommend him. If you are interested in mountain hiking he is your person. He is passionate about the outdoors and has many years of experience.
An amazing experience with wonderful views! We visited the beautiful villages along the mountains. Luis our guide was amazing and we had a great day! Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Granada for sure
Mike was an amazing tour guide! We were able to customize the trip and he knew exactly where to take us for the different things we wanted to see and experience. He did not rush us at all and we had an absolutely blast. No better way to end our trip! I highly recommend anyone considering this to book it!
Spend an extra day in Granada and book this tour into the white villages of Sierra Nevada where the Muslims of Granada retreated after the expulsion of 1492. Maika drove us through mountains on winding roads and we visited 3 communities, walked the cobbled streets, admired the unique homes and gardens, explored the interior of a historic home and church, enjoyed a coffee break and a delicious lunch. Listened to the burbling mountain streams, waterfalls and bird song, admired the views. Maika's love for this geography is evident and she is a wonderful guide who gave us a deeper appreciation of Andalusian lore and nature.
How can you understand Spain until you get far away from the cities to villages with 500-700 people up in the mountains? This trip was well worth it. We learned so much about the history of the region from Maika, our guide!
The trip to the Alpujarras was a highlight of our vacation! The pace of the day was perfect for us and our two young boys (7 and 5). We all enjoyed walking thorugh the villages, learning about the history and getting to know our guide, Jaime. Jaime was an outstanding guide and we would definitely recommend this trip!
We enjoyed the cute, handmade white little houses with unique chimney tops and the natural water fountains and the views of the Sierra Nevada and the valleys. Our guide Michael made the trip memorable and explained the culture, lifestyle, and history of the area in an easy to understand way. Also he reserved a great place for lunch and suggested a delicious local Migas dish for us.
Our guide Michael was very friendly, spoke English very well and was very nice to our 14 year old grandson. We were very lucky to be the only people on the tour. It was a good experience that we all enjoyed.
Pedro brought us to the Alpujarras Mountains and we had a beautiful relaxing day. We hiked, walked the streets of the villages and had a delicious lunch. Pedro was very personable, patient with my children (who enjoyed the hike too) and just a pleasure to converse with all day. Definitely recommend this trip!
the tour was cancelled and we were only made aware 30 mins after the tour was to start. Terrible communication. The fact the tour was cancelled would almost certainly have been known the night before. The tour guide arrived 30 mins after the tour was to have started to tell my wife it was cancelled. Then there was poor communication between him and the hotel where I was located waiting for my wife. Terrible communication and as result strongly advise against choosing this tour.
Our group of 4 enjoyed everything about our day. Our guide Michael was punctual, flexible and most importantly very knowledgeable and personable. The villages themselves are quaint and beautiful. It was a unique experience for our group. The vehicle was clean and Michael was an excellent driver. Booking the trip itself was an easy and actually pleasant experience. Our contact Pedro was very responsive and went out of his way to make sure our day would meet our expectations even to researching restaurants and answering my many questions. We would definitely book with Yannat again.
Had a wonderful day. Our guide, Miguel, was extremely knowledgeable and the scenery was jaw dropping. Alpujarras is a must for anyone staying in Granada.
The place was so beautiful it is out of the city loudness. You can enjoy fresh air and tast organic and healthy food. Ofcourse we could not know all the secrets of the places without the help of our giude Mr. Miguel. He did a great help and support for us. Much appreciate his effort. I know it was not easy to guide two adventure seeking couple for 8 hours but he was so friendly. Thanks again and hope to see you in the future
We enjoyed every moment of this trip from start to finish. I highly recommend trying the trip We visited several villages and the tour guide Francisco was fun and helpful explaining the history of each village
Pedro brought us around Granada and explained to us the history and important facts to know about the various locations. He was really knowledgeable about what really happened, why it happened and why it was important. At the same time he was really enjoyable to listen to as he was telling us a "story". David was another guide who took us on a private tour to Alpjuarra mountains and different villages. He was a really safe driver and could explain both the history and current situation for many places we visited. Both guides could speak english well and we had no problem communicating.
We took a day trip from Granada to Las Alpujarras with Granada Hiking Tours, Miguel being our tour guide. Las Alpujarras are just simply charming and tranquil. ❤️ We would like to thank Miguel for giving us a splendid explanations on the towns and his in depths knowledge of Federico Gracia Lorca… totally unexpected! 😊
Increíble. Amazing experience with a lovely & super knowledgeable guide who introduced us to a magical & lesser known area. This is the best way to see the Alpujarras if you are travelling to a Granada, without a doubt!
If you are visiting Granada, don’t miss a visit to the Alpujarra. It is a magical place full of beautiful scenery, history, culture, art, and good food. Miguel was the perfect guide for this. He selected wonderful places to visit on the journey and shared his wealth of knowledge about the culture and history. He is genuine in his attitude and desire for people to enjoy and to fully experience all of the gifts Granada has to offer. He will even help you improve your Spanish along the way and suggest other activities that you may find interesting during your stay. This trip guided by Miguel was one if the brightest highlights of my visit to Granada. 💜🌸
Pedro was an amazing guide. Me and my family asked him question upon question in our curiosity of Granada and he answered every inquiry with a smile and lots of enthusiasm. Pedro is a great guide and person.
We visited Alpujarra with Yannat about two weeks ago. We chose the Enterprise for its reviews. From the beginning the communication was excellent, both by whatsapp and email. the excursion as such, one pass. our guide was miguel. the vehicle very comfortable and we arrived with the first exploding in the alpujarra. you can not leave of pomegranate without knowing this little corner
The alpujarra is fantastic beautiful! And our guide miguel a freak! I really enjoyed my wife, my mother-in-law and myself.
Miguel very good guide and good communicator the beautiful Alpujarra! Recommended 100%! I would repeat without hesitation!
We've been with yannat in the Alpujarra. I am obliged to make a very favorable and well-deserved review of this experience. Thank you to the guide Pedro for his kindness and professionalism. La Alpujarra is an amazing place, we will repeat the tour as soon as we can.
I made the private visit to Alpujarra with my family in February. From the first moment, the treatment was excellent, the communication with the fast agency and the tour a wonder. Miguel taught us the towns of Alpujarra, their way of life, without haste and worrying every moment that we were all well. THANK YOU!
We planned a visit to La Alpujarra, and after looking at several options in a group, we decided to do it on a private tour .. and we got it right! you forget to drive (the roads are not easy) and you can enjoy the scenery. Peter, the guide, was planning the visit according to our tastes. We had a great time with him, because he also explains the story is so fun! I recommend to everyone this excursion, it is an incredible place and in this way it takes advantage of 100 percent
