SP2. 2008
Alpujarra walking
[Moderate]
This itinerary is aimed at those who want to experience some of the heritage and landscapes of the area as a whole. Walks range from those taking us deep into the Porqueira Gorge following the ancient water channels originally designed by the Moors, to the open valley of the Alpujarra. Each day is taken at an easy pace with stops en route to take in the scenery and relax. With high summer temperatures holidays at that time will concentrate on high level walking.
The itinerary will be adapted to suit the wishes of the group or to reflect weather conditions.
