Granada and the Alpujarras

Walking Granada and in Las Alpujarras was an amazing walk, in beautiful autumn weather. The region and its villages was fascinating, the accommodation and food commendable. We had a glitch with bus travel to the first village, but on the whole, everything went very well. I would recommend this walk.

We loved to stay in Granada.

Excellent trails that are well marked for the most part and provide outstanding views of natural and cultural landscapes.

This trip has been thoughtfully developed around range of walks and location, making for an interesting experience of these wonderful mountain villages. The route information was very clear, with different options identified for some stages. The hotels all provided comfortable accommodation and our specific requests for vegetarian meals had been clearly communicated. Helpful local information re shops, restaurants etc all very helpful. A well organised trip for keen walkers in a lovely part of Andalusia.

The Alpujarras Mountains hikes are very challenging with steep up and downs, sometimes gravel or rock trails that can be narrow. It was extremely hot when we were there in October, over 90 degrees F so that was hard too. The terrain is arid, as if it hasn't rained in months. The views though are breathtaking. This hike was rated moderate but I would rate it strenuous. The navigation app was very helpful. The prep, notes and arrangements at the various inns worked very well. All accommodations along the hikes were lovely as are the people who run them and their staff.
