Day trip to the Alpujarra Mountains
Meeting point: Congress Palace
Guide: Juan
Price: 55 €*
* price includes transport, ham tasting, guide and entrance fees.

La Alpujarra de Granada is a mountainous district in Southern Spain, which stretches south from the Sierra Nevada.

This excursion not only includes interesting cultural elements but is also recommended for those interested in nature and landscape since it is placed in the area of Sierra Nevada mountains on the Mediterranean.

The climate variety here has made the Alpujarras one of the most important areas in Europe for botanists, because of the variety of species to be found.

We must also take into account the important Moorish cultural heritage, the characteristic landscape made up of small white villages with their earthen, flat-roofed houses, and their small terraces cut into the mountainside for farming, some of which are over 2.000 metres above sea level. All of these aspects combine to make a visit to this unique area a must.

Enjoy a Flamenco show at any time during the week! We can inform you about availibility and prices at different places!

¡Nos vamos de tapas!
Meeting point: School
Guide: School teacher
Price: each student pays his consumption

A tapa is a type of appetizer which is served when you order a drink. Serving tapas to customers is a typical Spanish tradition preserved through the whole of Spain. In some cities, such as Granada, the tapas are free. They can vary from just a few peanuts or a small dish of olives, to almost a mini meal in itself. One of the most enjoyable pleasures of the Spanish culture, is to go out with your friends for tapas. You usually only stay in each tapas bar for one or two drinks, so that you can go to a series of different bars in one evening. In some tapas bars you can choose your tapa, whereas in others, there is a set list of tapas that you get according to the type which is being served.

The Alpujarras is a valley located at the foot of Sierra Neada National park whose name comes from the Arab al-bugscharra, which means “land of grass”.

The Alpujarras find themselves between the provinces of Granada and Almeria, thus providing them with scenic landscapes, dotted with Berber-style white towns that connect to one another through hiking routes and paths. These will allow you to discover the Alpujarras completely on foot, especially in spring and autumn, when the colours of nature are far from plain.

The region of mountain villages known as Las Alpujarras clings to the southern flanks of the Sierra Nevada, cloven by deep, sheltered valleys and gorges which run down towards the Mediterranean. The Alpujarra is famous throughout Spain because of its unique mini-ecology. Its terraced farmlands are constantly watered by the melting snow from above, constituting a high-altitude oasis of greenery which stands in dramatic contrast to the arid foothills below. This is ideal hiking terrain for adventurous travellers.
