Las Alpujarras is the name for the region which lies on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the south of Spain. One of the least known and yet stunning areas of Andalucia holds a world of delights for those willing to get out on foot and discover the beauty of this landscape. Walking holidays with Sunshine Breaks can be on a self catered, self led basis or as an all inclusive weeks holiday.
Our all inclusive walking holidays will see you taken through the traditional villages steeped in a bygone era where little has changed since the moors first cultivated the land into terraces hundreds of years ago. Everyday you will see something and somewhere different as you travel through the region. Some walks follow part of the GR7 trans European walking route, another takes you to the far eastern end of the local mountains and the highlight of the week (quite literally) will be an overnight expedition to Mulhacen, the highest mountain on mainland Spain which sits at 3482 metres.
This is truely wonderful week based at the Sunshine Breaks Mountain Villa, Casa Escocia. Each day you will start with a hearty and healthy breakfast before heading out for a days walking around the area. Several of the walks will leave directly from Casa Escocia, the Mountain Villa which sits at 3,500 metres at the top of the village of Nechite. The views from here alone are outstanding and they will undoubtably inspire you to get on your walking boots. The villa sleeps 12 with 6 bedrooms, 4 shower rooms, a fully fitted kitchen, two large living rooms (one with a dining area), a fantastic south facing terrace, Sky, DVD, Wifi Internet connection etc etc. There is even a fleet of mountain bikes for you to make use of if you wish to try a different activity for the day.
On the walks you will stop in a local villages and sample the local tapas or menu del dia (menu of the day). At night the Sunshine Breaks chef will have a fantastic home cooked meal awaiting your arrival. Two of the nights will be freed up for you to wander into the village and enjoy a night out at one of the nearby restaurants. We'll point you in the right direction of the best places to taste the local cuisine.
The walks will all be guided but there is no problem if you want to head off on your own. We will always pass on our knowledge of the area. Our current guides include former UK Mountain Rescue Team members and fully qualified MIA guides who either live or have lived for some considerable time locally and speak English so you won't have any communication problems.
Prices are £345 for an all inclusive week and this includes transfers, accommodation, breakfast every morning, packed lunches through the week, 5 two course evening meals, free bar all week (beer & wine), guided walks and good company!
The villa can be rented on a self catering basis if you wish to organise your own holiday and make use of our fantastic location. Rental for one week is only £850 (sleeps 12).
