You will stay in a beautifully restored village house with gardens and pool and in hotels chosen for their atmosphere and views. Whatever your expectations, this tour is guaranteed to enchant anyone who enjoys outdoor life and wishes to holiday in an area still virtually untouched by tourism and to experience the magic of real Spain. The tour begins and ends at Mairena, the 'Balcony of the Alpujarras', one of the many typical whitewashed villages, set high up at the eastern end of the Sierra Nevada, with spectacular views down to the Mediterranean. In Mairena you stay for 3 nights in a restored village house with gardens and pool. The house is furnished throughout with local antiques, each bedroom enjoys spectacular views from its balcony.
Dinner is served on a candle lit terrace or by an olive wood fire in winter.
At Trevelez , which claims to be the highest village in Spain and is famous for its cured hams and spring waters, you stay at a small but comfortable pension which is family run, nestled in the backstreets of the upper part of the village.
