Markets & crafts in Costa del Sol
Alpujarras Mountain Villages Tour
On this half-day tour, you'll marvel at dramatic scenery and be enchanted by picturesque hilltop villages. The Alpujarras nestles at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and were for years a little-known secret. Visit the pretty villages of Soportujar and Pampaneira, discovering local life and what makes them so special.As the coach begins the climb from Nerja, you'll learn about local life as we criss-cross the rugged landscapes of the Alpujarras. You'll start in Soportujar – a typical Moorish village, where old tales of witchcraft and wizardry live on to the present day – before continuing on to Pampaneira. On a mountain slope 1,000 metres above sea level, it seems almost impossible to build a town here.With its steep, cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, it is like an Aladdin's cave, full of bars and gift shops offering artisan and high-quality souvenirs – the colourful rugs are renowned. Visit a bodega and maybe try the region's famed cured hams, goat's cheeses and marzipans, washing them down with one of the fruity local wines.
