White villages of the Alpujarras

These white villages are the starting point of some of the very best walking routes Southern Spain has to offer. To the north of Bubión sits mainland Spain's highest mountain, Mulhacén, at 3400 metres, and its challenging neighbour, Veleta. For keen walkers, both can be conquered. For the slightly less adventurous, there are many beautiful river valleys, stunning waterfalls and picturesque footpaths throughout the Alpujarras. There is more information on our Activities page.
