Visit a series of charming villages that cling to the sides of the Sierra Nevada. A natural and historic region, the Alpujarras boast verdant landscapes and deep valleys, and are renowned for their ecology. Come across fresh spring waters and Berber architecture, and learn about the area's history.

Start your day with a scenic drive through Spain's inner countryside. Heading up the flanks of the Sierra Nevada, you meander through terraces of flowing gorges and rich farmlands that are constantly watered by the melting snow from above.

Admire the oasis of greenery that stands in dramatic contrast to the arid foothills below, and make sure to catch sight of the abundance of wildlife.

As you explore the Alpujarra area, visit Lanjarón—a spa town home to ample freshwater fountains dispersed through narrow streets and plazas. Continue through to a series of enchanting villages, including Carataunas and Pampaneira, and visit the region's capital of Orgiva in the lowlands.

End your tour with a journey up 4,840 feet (1,476 m) above sea level to visit Trevélez, the highest village in Spain.
