You need to travel further into the Alpujarras if you prefer smaller towns and villages and/or wish to get closer to the majority of the routes in this guide that start from the south. The three ‘white villages’ of the Poqueira gorge – Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira – cling to the hillsides below Mulhacén and provide close access to plenty of routes. Allow an hour for the journey to these villages from the A-44 Granada to Motril motorway exit for Lanjarón.

Trevélez is a further 20min along the road, passing through Pitres, Pórtugos and Busquístar. Below the road, the delightful and sleepy villages in the Taha de Pitres, consisting of Mecina, Fondales and Ferrierola, can provide a very relaxing place to rest after the rigours of the mountains. Trevélez itself is a substantial tourist town and has good accommodation options. Trevélez is a start-point for ascents to Siete Lagunas, Mulhacén, Alcazaba and excursions up the Río Trevélez.

Bear in mind that this is still a very traditional area so most towns will have at least one major annual fiesta during the year. At fiesta time accommodation will be difficult if not impossible to find so should be booked well in advance.
