Today you say goodbye to the Cabo de Gata coastline and travel inland toward the Sierra Nevada mountain range. In the morning, you’ll head to the Alpujarra region, known for its stunning mountain scenery and characteristic white villages (pueblos blancos).
The main part of the day will be spent driving a beautiful route that starts in
Bérchules and passes through several of the Alpujarra’s most famous villages. You’ll visit
Trevélez, one of the highest-altitude villages in Spain, then continue to the charming
Capileira and
Pampaneira, known for their architecture and handicrafts. The route then leads through
Órgiva, the regional hub, and ends in
Lanjarón, famous for its mineral springs.
Along the way, you can stop for lunch in one of the villages or enjoy a picnic with mountain views. In the evening, you’ll head to your overnight spot near
Beas de Granada, where you’ll have views of the Sierra Nevada slopes.
