The largest national park in Spain, Sierra Nevada is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. The rugged terrain includes mountains and gorges made for hiking (Los Cahorros is a favorite with its limestone cliffs and hanging bridges), icy plunge pools for swimming, and plentiful tunnels and caves to explore. Those that aren’t so adventure-inclined can make their own excitement roaming through the many villages dotted throughout Las Alpujarras. The famous Alhambra castle and fortress is also close by, inspiring visitors with its breathtaking architecture and gardens.

Can’t recommend Nevada Guides enough! As a group of 10 people aged between 11 and 71 this was a fabulous day for all. Jaime and his colleague Ernst were friendly and fun, yet extremely knowledgeable, answering all our questions and queries regarding their beautiful backyard. They showed us the Sierra Nevada in a relaxing and enjoyable way making it a definite highlight of our trip. After seeing the stunning scenery and hearing the history of the area we were treated to a fabulous lunch and hike for some spectacular photos. This day trip has something for everyone! Thank you Jaime for an unforgettable experience!

This is one of the best experiences ever! We arranged it for a friend's birthday surprise. Mahsa was extremely helpful in the run-up to the event and very friendly in all communications. The show itself was outstanding, with Costanza accompanied by an excellent singer and guitarist. We opted for this upgrade and it was definitely worth it. The three performers explained the music in English, asked us if we had any questions, and then taught us a few steps. All in all, an extremely enjoyable hour and would TOTALLY recommend! Olé

Kudos to Pepe Tours on a great guided tour of the Alhambra, With them, none of the horror stories one could read online. They were professional in getting calls immediately to confirm the schedule and meeting point, plus called me at checkin to make sure we didn’t get lost. The guide Noelia was just great: very knowledgeable and instructive. Everything went smoothly, well done Pepe Tours!
