Sierra Nevada Foothills
| Friday 26th Feb - Friday 5 March 2010 | £465 p.p |
The Andalusian people have a real warmth and hospitality. Mix that with powerful scenery and you’ve got Las Alpujarras, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
White- washed villages drape the hillsides and the effect of more than 300 years of Moorish domination is still shown in farming techniques, food and architecture.
The holiday is two-centre, combining coastal Nerja with Capileira in the spectacular Barranco de Poqueira.
Tour itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Nerja and at 20.00h approx. we all dine together.
Day 2
“La Cebadilla”. We transfer to the Sierra Nevada national park, where the first sight of these majestic, snow- coated mountains from the coast road near Motril will stay with you forever. We waste no time in getting our boots on to explore, walking to an abandoned hamlet built to service the Poqueira power station at the head of the gorge.
Day 3
“Pampaneira - Lanjaron” via the GR7 long distance path. We taste some of the very best ingredients this area has to offer on this 25Km long linear route.
Day 4
“Pitres – Bubion”. Today we explore nearby Pitres and walk to Bubion along an old sheep drovers’ path with sweeping views as far as the eye can see.
Day 5
“Timar - Lobras –Cadiar”. Our journey takes us into a lesser known part of these hills. A great walk and a great way to discover this part of the world, uniting three very different village communities.
Day 6
“Portugos circuit” Our time in this area concludes with an extremely pretty walk from Portugos to the villages of Atalbeitar and Ferreirola to leave you with some great images of “Las Alpujarras” before our journey back to Nerja.
Day 7
The last excursion is the mighty “Cuesta del cielo” at the back of Nerja in the Parque de Sierra Tejeda. The mountain looks like a pyramid climbing to the sky from the coast, and at 1500mtrs, standing on the summit is a rewarding finish to our week.
Day 8
Homewards.
