 | Granada ALPUJARRAS Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 13 |  |
Take the time to walk through this town. Bring a bottle of Lanjaron, and stroll through the streets (without cars). Even though it's HOT, I suggest doing it around 2pm because it's deserted. It's amazing to walk through this town alone. Be quiet, however, you don't want to rouse anyone from a nice siesta. Leave a Comment

This is a lovely little town with white buildings, a couple of bars and restaurants, all white walkways and roads (see following photo), and friendly people. This was the most touristy town I saw in the Alpujarras. It had parking, and definitely was focused on visitors. However, it's not "touristy." The cokes are more expensive in the bar than in the tiny towns scattered throughout the countryside; that's how I knew it was more touristy.
Definitely take a road trip to Pampaneira. The joy is the journey, and using this town as your destination is a wonderful way to anchor the trip.
Pampaneira is past Lanjaron (the water town!) and just past Soportujar. If you are willing to drive A LOT, stop into Trevelez as well. The views and people are wonderful. Leave a Comment

Another charming town at Alpujarras is Orgiva... white buildings, orange-trees, narrow streets, all surrounded by mountains. Take a seat at one of the several cafés situated in front of the church, have a drink and enjoy a peaceful day.

Another charming town at Las Alpujarras is Lanjarón, where you will find the ruins of an ancient castle (see picture). Lanjarón is well known for its mineral water plant.

Trevélez (the town of tres Vélez, or three Vélez, down, middle and up) is the highest town in Spain: it is situated at 1.476 m over sea level, in the middle of Sierra Nevada.

Las Alpujarras is a beautiful place at Province of Granada, situated at Sierra Nevada, a mountainous area. There are some white villages along a wandering path, like Lanjarón, Orgiva, Pampaneira or Trevélez. Each town has its charms: people, architecture, arts and crafts, typical food...
If you like strong emotions, rent a car and drive into this way!
The picture shows the main street of Pampaneira, my favourite town of those I visited, with its typical architecture, steep alleys and handcrafts shops.
If you want more information, you can check my Las Alpujarras travel page.
Las Alpujarras es una hermosa región de la Provincia de Granada, situada en la Sierra Nevada, una zona montañosa. Hay numerosos pueblitos blancos a lo largo de una ruta sinuosa, como Lanjarón, Orgiva, Pampaneira o Trevélez. Cada pueblo tiene sus encantos: su gente, su arquitectura, sus artesanías, su comida típica... Si te gustan las emociones fuertes, alquila un auto y recorre esta ruta!
La foto muestra la calle principal de Pampaneira, el pueblito que má me gustó de los que visité, con su arquitectura típica, sus artesanías y sus callecitas empinadas.

LA ALPUJARRA is a mountainous region on the south side of the Sierra Nevada with beautiful small, white villages of Arabic origin.
You should visit: LANJARON one of Spain's best reputed spas, ORVIJA, and TREVELEZ, famous because of his ham.

It's not that most people miss Las Alpujarras, it's that they don't take the time to really enjoy them. The villages are breathtakingly beautiful, but it's the people that really make it special. The tiny villages all have cafes in which to stop for a cool drink or snack. The people are always curious as to what the heck you are doing there. And the roads through the villages are challenging and make San Francisco seem like child's play.
It's worth the trouble to rent a car and get lost. If need be, you can always find a home with an extra bed for rent. Leave a Comment

If you're getting to know my other pages its no surprise to find me escaping to the mountains. La Alpujarra, between the snow-capped peaks of Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean Sea, is one of the most varied, enchanting and beatiful regions in the world. It's Spain's best-kept secret. Along the POQUEIRA RAVINE are the 3 white moorish villages - Capileira (the highest in the Poqueira Ravine at 1,470 m.) Boubion and Pampaneira - see travelouge

You can see this beautiful park on the way from Granada to Almuñecar. It takes 1 more hour to get to the seaside when taking this road, but it’s worth it. To see more of these amazing, spectacular views check out my Almunecar page.
