Trekking in Alpujarra with an Artisan Cheese Tasting

Trekking Routes in the Alpujarra within the Sierra Nevada Natural Park and Its White Villages

The Sierra Nevada Natural Park and the Granadan Alpujarra offer an unforgettable experience for trekking enthusiasts. With routes adapted to different skill levels, you will have the opportunity to explore this unique territory while immersing yourself in its rich history and natural beauty. Some of the top options include the “Medieval Route of the Tahá Villages,” “Poqueira Gorge,” and “Cebadilla.” At the end of the trek, you will enjoy a guided tasting of artisanal cheeses made from goat’s milk, sourced from herds grazing in the idyllic landscapes of the Alpujarra.

One of the most fascinating routes is the Poqueira Gorge, where we will cross the Poqueira River and explore its famous white villages, such as Pampaneira, Bubión, and Capileira. Along the way, we will traverse the opposite side of the river, ascending through its imposing gorge, adorned with ancient Arab irrigation channels that still function today. This route offers breathtaking views of the white villages, whose Moorish architecture will transport you to the past. Additionally, you will experience a unique blend of Mediterranean vegetation, including oaks, chestnuts, poplars, and fruit trees, enhancing the region’s charm.

The experience culminates with a visit to an artisanal cheesemaking facility, where a local master cheesemaker will guide you through an authentic tasting of their products. You will have the chance to sample high-quality cheeses and yogurts, recognized with international awards such as the prestigious Concours International de Lyon. This activity perfectly blends nature, history, and gastronomy, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a well-rounded experience.
