With easy access and a superb climate, the Alpujarras traverse the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada which rise to over 3300m and offer excellent and varied walking opportunities. Often with snow capped peaks until late June, the Sierra Nevada provides a stunning backdrop to the lower slopes of the Alpujarra range. Here, narrow roads wind their way around the folds in the mountains
connecting whitewashed villages clinging to the hillside or perched over a ravine. Few cars however, pass this way.
 

The villages were designed for four legged transport as opposed to four wheeled. Views are far reaching along the Alpujarras, down to the deep valley below and across to the remote Sierra de la Contraviesa. Granada, with its famous Alhambra Palace- a reminder of the Moorish influence on
the region could provide a cultural extension to your walking holiday.
 

Our excellent choice of walking routes often follow ancient
paths linking villages of the Alpujarras with the opportunity
to explore their narrow streets or to linger over a cooling
drink in a shady café before continuing on your way.
Ancient olive terraces, flower lined paths, deep ravines and
trails up into the Sierra Nevada extend the walking
possibilities for something a little more strenuous. We
have two bases from which to explore the Alpujarras each
with their own exclusive set of walking notes. From Casa
las Chimineas our walks largely start and finish in the
village. Most of those that do not, David the owner will be
happy to take you to the start and collect you at the finish
of the local walk free of charge, others a little further afield
will incur a local small charge. From Finca Los llanos, again a large number can be walked from the village, There is a local bus but the times are not walker friendly so we have designed the walks to be suitable for a car which is included in the price.
