Granada & The Alhambra Wander the atmospheric alleyways and plazas of Granada before visiting the extraordinarily well preserved Alhambra Palace. Perched overlooking the city, this beautiful array of sprawling decorative gardens and ornate Moorish buildings is breathtaking. Rising to the south of the city, the Sierra Nevada provides an amazing backdrop of snow-capped mountains for much of the year. Alpujarras & Sierra Nevada A series of day walks takes you into the heart of the Alpujarras. Passing through whitewashed villages and beautiful forests, explore the mountainous valleys below the high Sierra Nevada. The village of Trevelez allows access to the upper slopes of the Sierra Nevada for an easy potter up a tree-lined valley or a testing ascent of one of the nearby peaks - including Mulhacen optional the highest summit in mainland Spain. Responsible Travel You stay in locally-run hotels and eat in local restaurants. These are part of the fabric of the community in Spain and bring income and visitors to remote parts of the country. The local trekking guides have a set of environmental guidelines that they work with. |
