The Alpujarra of Granada is a magical place that awaits on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Here you come to go hiking, connect with nature and light the fireplace, but also to devour a good Alpujarreño dish. In fact, we get lost in three of its paths, where, after a few kilometers, a whole feast awaits us. Will you join us?

- It goes through the villages of Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira.
