Pampaneira is considered the most beautiful village in the Alpujarra. It belongs to the association of the most beautiful villages of Spain, which leads us to believe that it really may be the most beautiful in this area. The most important places here are for example the Calle Real or the Paseo Garcia Lorca, not forgetting the Chocolate Factory. 

Soportújar is another of the villages best known for being the village of the witches. It is a village of only 260 inhabitants in the Alpujarra Alta. On arriving in the village you will be greeted by the giant head of Baba Yaga, the fearsome Slavic sorceress. Her hen-legged house is on the way to the Era del Aquelarre. 

Another village of note is Capileira, situated 1,500 metres above sea level. It has been declared a Historic, Artistic and Picturesque Landscape, as well as belonging to the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain.  The patron saint of this place, the Virgen de la Cabeza, can be found in the parish church and was donated by the Catholic Monarchs themselves after the conquest of Granada in 1492. 

We could not forget Lanjarón, known above all for its water. Legend has it that its inhabitants are among the longest-living in Spain, and one of the reasons for this is that its spring is one of the purest in the world. You cannot leave here without visiting the Balneario de Lanjarón where Lorca used to come with his family and personalities at the beginning of the 20th century. Nowadays it is a hotel. 

It is clear that the Alpujarra is made up of magical places like these and many others, that is why we recommend you to visit this place with options like this Excursion to the Alpujarra region in Granada.
