19 - 26 April (BL 134), |
| A great introduction for those new to the region, as well as a chance for seasoned Bootlacers to add to local knowledge and deepen your acquaintance with this dramatic and beautiful land. Tracing ancient paths which lead deep into the National Park of the Sierra Nevada we journey into the heart of the Alpujarra, from the present day ‘capital’, Orgiva, to the original centre, the last home of the Moors in Spain, La Taha. |
| Over thousands of years the lushly watered arable land, on the sweeping southern slopes of this towering mountain range has drawn the successive people of the Alpujarra here. In the course of the week we will find our way to the centre of the region, traveling on foot, as the original inhabitants did. Our “camino” leads through dramatic and varied scenery, ascending from Mediterranean orange and olive groves to airy mountain heights, cherry and chestnut trees. |

Local village accommodation, small hotels and mountain lodges will provide our overnight stops, evening meals and breakfast. With heavy bags transported ahead by Land Rover and day-packs lightly burdened with delicious Bootlace picnics, we can enjoy Andalucian hospitality and Spring flowers during a footloose and carefree week. |
