Overview
We will start by heading towards Lanjarón, making the first stop at the historic Nasrid Bridge of
Tablate. At this point, we will understand the relationship of the Moriscos with the Alpujarra and its
importance in our history.
Later, we leave for a unique viewpoint from where we can contemplate the Poqueira Valley, the
Guadalfeo Valley and the Sierra Nevada. Possibly you will take from here one of the best photos of
your vacations, without a doubt a unique enclave in the visit.
Next, we will discover the interesting Fuente Agria Spring and the Chorrerón in Pórtugos, a source
of water rich in minerals and that we will have the possibility to taste, cold and natural, as it flows
from the spring. We will walk down to Chorrerón and enjoy some impressive natural waterfalls.
Then we will begin the ascent towards Trevélez, one of the highest villages in Spain. There, we will
visit an authentic Alpujarran ham drying factory, knowing first-hand the process of making one of
the most famous products in Spain. Later, they will offer us an exquisite tasting.
Following our previous route and through impressive landscapes, we will arrive at Pampaneira,
included within the network of the Most Beautiful Towns in Spain and one of the most
representative of the Alpujarra. You will also have free time for a coffee before returning to
