Top Granada Day Trips

We had a wonderful experience on the Sierra Nevada mountain tour in Granada with Biutre as our guide! It was such a great way to spend the day and see the beautiful mountains and scenery outside the city. Biutre was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. He also took great care of us while navigating the narrow mountain roads, which made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Granada and wanting to experience the Sierra Nevada!

As a hiking tour, there is the opportunity to see the typical village life in the valley, the trees that bear berry fruits, flowers that are in bloom as well the wild rosemary, lemon thyme, lavender reeds etc. The narrow pathways, the series of bridges leading to the canyon ranges from shortest to longest. The sound of the streams and brooks, and the heavy outpour of a big dam alongside another natural waterfalls, is just music to the ears. The cold breeze calms all the senses. There were rock climbers that scaled the canyon. En route were series of very narrow paths that required us to crawl and duck to get trough. My companions were very friendly. The most beautiful part - we had Marcello our tour guide who was one of a kind. He was caring and always ensured we were always safe.

We had an absolutely wonderful day in this amazing region in the mountains with our terrific guide Alfredo who was friendly, knowledgeable and tried hard to ensure the tour was enjoyable to all. (He thoughtfully addressed my special dietary restrictions throughout the tour which was greatly appreciated.) The tour featured some special sites and experiences that gave us a view into the everyday life of living in small, off-the-grid towns with friendly people, beautiful artisan work, and delicious food. We highly recommend this experience which was interesting, relaxed and fun. Thank you again, Alfredo! - Katie and Camye

This day trip to Alpujarra was incredibly well run. Gonzalo is an incredible tour guide and did a great job of bringing around a group of both English and Spanish speakers! We got lucky and had beautiful weather too and the views were amazing! The pace didn’t feel overly rushed… overall, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you again Gonzalo!

Excellent show, i had never watched Flemenco before, and i love it so much now, couldnt wait for the second chance. The performers were so passonate and energized, professional. For 1 hour they tried to fill every minute with content. The venue is inside a cave so you need a small climb, but the acoustic in the cave totally worth it

What an incredible day! We started at the Cueve de Nerja, learning all about the caves, walking with an audio guide and finished with virtual reality experience. Our driver then brought us up to Frigiliana, walking up the mountain through the bright white village with pops of blue colours and tropical plants and views of the mountains out to the sea. Finishing up with Nerja with the turquoise waters today under the sunshine, enjoying good food, wine, ice cream and beach walks. What more could you ask for in a day? Our guide was so attentive to all of our needs as well. Truly above and beyond what I expected. So great for a first visit to all these locations.

Our Driver and Guide Gonzalo was very nice and well informed. He showed us around beautiful spots and his Restaurant recommendation was spot on. The tour inside the mosque also was good, just the reception of the Audioguides made it hard to understand Maria, our guide. But the Mosque/ Cathedral made it a once in a lifetime experience!
