The area is well placed for hiking and walking and many routes are mapped and marked according to difficulty so whether you fancy a gentle stroll or a hike up Mulhacen, the tallest mountain on mainland Spain, it is all on your doorstep.
Birdwatchers are also well served,and with a huge variety ranging from the humble Sardinian warbler to the magnificent Golden Eagle, it is not surprising that many ornithologists flock to The Alpujarras.

- Travel Info: Orgiva is the market town of The Alpujarras and is easily reached from various airports: Granada (60km) being the nearest and Almeria (125km), but Malaga has a much wider choice of flights and amenities including car hire which we do recommend for exploring the area.
