&

GRANADA

Alpujarra  |  6 days  |  Granada - Spain  |  From 750€  |

DESCRIPTION

The Alpujarra is a historical and natural region which extends over two provinces, Granada and Almería, on the south slopes of the Sierra Nevada. 

The average elevation is 1,200 metres (4,000 ft) above sea level. There are several interpretations of this Arabic name: the most convincing is that it derives from 'al-basharāt'  meaning something like 'sierra of pastures'. 

Sierra Nevada, the second highest mountain massif in Europe, run from east to west creating a natural barrier between the Alpujarra and the Moorish and magic city of Granada.

The Alpujarra forests and wild meadows along of fertile valleys covered in aromatic herbs, carry us to the beautiful white villages with its Berber style houses.  On our trip we enjoy Spanish hospitality and traditional cuisine. We will also explore one full day in Granada, home to the Moorish Alhambra Palace, and we will be luxuriated with famous Granada 'tapas'
