Alpujarras Trail

The Alpujarras is a landscape of exceptional natural beauty and grandeur making a lovely location for a holiday on horseback in Spain. Here everything remains much as it was during the Rebellion of the Moors 400 years ago. Whitewashed villages cling to the edge of cliffs. On a clear day, one can see the Mediterranean Sea from here. Bubión (4000 ft), the starting point for three different treks, lies to the west.

On this trail, which runs for five or four nights depending on the date, we ride deep in the heart of this region, an experience not much different from that in Spain of the 19th Century. Here time stops for travellers, who wonder at the changing landscapes and vegetation of the different micro-climates. Your charming host, Rafael, has run trail rides in these mountains for over 30 years and knows the routes like the back of his hand. Pure Andalusians are well loved and very sure footed mounts on the steep trails. Without a doubt you will make many new friends on this trail.
