What to expect

Your guide meets you in Granada and drives you south into the Alpujarra's terraced valleys and compact hill villages. Expect winding roads through olive groves and almond orchards, with stops at two or three settlements where you'll walk narrow streets lined with centuries-old houses. The Casa Alpujarreña museum offers a tangible look at how people lived here—furnishings, crafts, daily rhythms. Your guide fills in the historical weight: Moorish refuge, Christian conquest aftermath, evolving traditions. This isn't a hit-and-run; you'll have breathing room to absorb each place. The terrain involves moderate uphill walking in villages, but the pace is yours to set.
