Given its variety of microclimates it is considered as one of Europe's greatest enclaves of botanical interest, inherited by the Arabs. Its spectacular landscape with clusters of small white villages with flat earthen roofs (terrados) and terraced farmland that reaches over 6,561 feet (2,000 meters) make this an essential visit.

Pass through Lanjaron, famous medicinal spa town; Orgiva, center of the Alpujarra region and a series of picturesque villages and hamlets such as Caratunas, Pampaneira, Pitres, Portugos with its natural spring and Trevelez, the highest village in Spain. You will then continue through Bubion to Capileira perched above the marvelous Ravine of Poqueira where a typical Alpujarreno lunch will be served.
