This holiday is based in the mountain village of Trevélez in a small, family run hotel and a favourite with painters. The hotel is situated in the high part of Trevélez where traditional life continues into the 21st C. The hotel’s restaurant is perhaps the best in the Alpujarra with a good variety of traditional and vegetarian dishes, well presented and with good views to enjoy while eating.
Spain's highest village, Trevelez (1600 m), sits near the head of a long, deep valley below the peninsula's highest mountain peak, Mulhacen (3481 m) . The naturally air-cured hams produced here are famous all over the world for their moist texture and sweet flavour. We include 5 lunches on this trip and will be able to treat you to some interesting bar lunches as we visit other valleys and villages in the area.
