Full Description
For the best adventures, use the best map. The Moorish white villages of the Alpujarras are well known to day trippers from the Costa del Sol. For walkers this is an idyllic region with stone-laid donkey trails linking the tipico villages and stretching up the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada to Mulhacen; at 3,483 metres the highest mountain peak on mainland Spain. From Spring to the end of Autumn this is a paradise for hikers, whether you are walking from village to village sampling the local delicacies or tackling the challenging major ascents. One thing you will know is that using the Alpujarras Tour & Trail Map will help you plan, and get the best out of, your adventures.
