Granada -Granada
The Alpujarra is a region of mountain villages to the south of the Sierra Nevada. They cling to deep valleys and gorges that runsouth towards the Mediterranean. Their terraced farmlands have a good supply of water all year round thanks to the melt waters of the high mountains, giving the area the appearance of an alpine oasis. This is perfect hiking terrain.
Culturally the area is fascinating. It has more than 50 villages that were the last stronghold of the Moriscos (Muslims from Granada forced to convert to Christianity).
Our proposal is a week of easy level hiking, staying in peaceful family run hotels in three different villages. The first of these (the highest, at 1,470m) is Trevélez which is famous for its ham-curing. From Trevelez you will hike to the second village, Busquístar, which means hidden Moorish paradise, one of the finest examples of traditional Alpujarran architecture. Then we walk to our next destination, Capileira, the last village we will stay in on this hike. It is situated in the Poqueira valley, at some 1300m above sea level. We sill spend two nights in the spectacular Poqueira valley, visiting villages like Pampaneira and Bubión on the last day's hiking before our return to Granada. You will visit Granada ant its Alhambra palaces on the first day of this tour, but maybe you would like to stay one more night to enjoy this lively town.U kunt deze reis ook boeken via de Belgische reisorganisatie Te Voet: klik hier

Ronda -Puerto de Santa María
Between the provinces of Malaga and Cadiz, set in dreamy landscapes of interwoven peaks and valleys, you will find the "Pueblos Blancos" (White Villages) of the Ronda and Grazalema Mountains. These villages constitute gems of popular Andalusian architecture, lodged between the deep green of their valleys and the rocky grey of the mountains. Discover a region and a people forged over the ages in these idyllic, hidden spots.
This gentle Pueblos Blancos route (mainly on quiet country roads) will lead us to the heart of the region, dropping down from the lofty heights of the Ronda Mountains towards the plains of Cadiz to come to rest on the coast, in Puerto de Santa María.
We set out from the ancient city of Ronda (one-time home to writers like Cervantes or the Czech poet Rainer María Rilke) with its gorge, mountains, and famous bullring (Spain's oldest). From here we will discover many of the "Pueblos Blancos": Arriate, Setenil de las Bodegas, Torre Alhaquime, Olvera. From there we take the old "Vía Verde" (disused mountain railway - now reconditioned for cycling) to Puerto Serrano. Then to Villamartín, Bornos and finally Arcos de la Frontera, a whitewashed farmstead set into an impenetrable peak above the Guadalete River, a splendid viewpoint over the Jerez countryside. Jerez de la Frontera and Puerto de Santa María provide the perfect epilogue to a journey packed with pleasures including famous wines and bright sunshine on the beaches of Cadiz Bay.
