TOUR # 4 - Trails of the Alpujarras
Malaga - Tour 4

The Alpujarra is placed between Sierra Nevada, the Lújar range and the Gádor range. It finds its way to the Mediterranean Sea from the Mulhacén, the highest peak of the Iberian Peninsula. Its landscape is rough yet colourful, its orography is scattered with ravines, canyons and valleys, where the villages of this district lie and sometimes climb. This region was inhabited by Phoenicians and Romans, but the eight centuries of Arab domination gave them its peculiar architecture, its water irrigation system, its cuisine and even its name. Isolated and with difficult access along centuries, this steep land has kept itself nearly untouched, as if the Alpujarra had been stopped in time. The villages of the Alpujarra, with its whitewashed houses, spread themselves along the slopes between green forests. The beauty of these villages is only one of its many attractions. Lanjarón, city with many spas, famous for the longevity and good health of its population, is the gate to the alpujarras wonders. Trévelez, the highest town in Europe, is known overall because of its exquisite jams. Another main touristy destination is the Poqueira ravine, where we will visit the villages of Pamponeira, Bubión and Capileira. The stories tell of an area with goblins and witches, as well as the smells of olive trees and trout with jam.

We will have free time for eating in one of these Villages. These villages have marvelled everybody with their charm. Pedro Antonio de Alarcón dedicated them his first travel book in Spanish and Gerald Brennan told us about its excellences in Al sur de Granada. For Federico Garcia Lorca it was "the country of nowhere". The dances and the songs are an important part of a rich folklore and an ancestral tradition. The Moors and Christians fiestas are celebrated in a large number of places but one of the most original manifestations of the district are the Trovos from La Alpujarra. In this Trovos, the two troveros sing in turns improvising the response according to what the other has sung. Next to La Alpujarra we find the fertile Lecrín valley where the fields of orange and lemon trees perfume the air in spring with a very heady blossom smell. Old flour mills, Muslim castles and charming cortijos, sprinkle this quiet and bright district.
TOUR DURATION: 7 HOURS


TOUR # 5 - Ronda: City of the castles
Malaga - Tour 5

This town in the Málaga region sits on either side of the Tajo del Ronda, a narrow gorge more than 150 meters deep. We will have a private guided visit of this town, where Celts, Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs all inhabited these lands, were reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs. The historic quarter, reminiscent of the Arab age and with a medieval layout is scattered to the south of the Guadalevín, while more modern Ronda, the part which sprang up after the 16th century, unfolds to the north of the course of this river. Several bridges unite the two halves of one of the most interesting towns on the route of the Whitewashed Villages, in the heart of the the Ronda hills, only a few kilometers from the Costa del Sol. The so-called "city of the castles" stands on a natural vantage point defended at its most accessible point by a citadel. It still preserves its walls and the most important gates which gave access to the city. The Almocábar Gate (13th century) provided access to the south side of the town, the Carlos I Gate dates from the 16th century, while the Exijara Gate led to the Jewish quarter. We will have some free time to have our lunch. Outstanding in these walled surroundings is the Gothic-Renaissance construction of the church of Espíritu Santo, ordered to be built by Fernando the Catholic to commemorate the reconquest of Ronda. Another major religious work is Santa María la Mayor, where Arab and Christian features combine. On the site of an old Roman temple, the Arabs built the Main Mosque of Ronda in the 13th century. Preserved from this period are the mihrab arch, decorated with stucco, and the minaret, transformed into a belltower
