You will be taken to the Alpujarras, a stunning mountain range interspersed with picturesque white washed villages, on the south side of the Sierra Nevada. During the morning you can choose between a guided walk, horse-riding or mountain biking. In the afternoon you will be taken around some of the villages where you can sample the local wines, cheeses and the Serrano ham that this area is most famous for. There will also be time for some shopping in the many local craft shops.

Day 3
A guided tour of Granada will be organized, starting with the typical breakfast of "churros con chocolate". The tour will begin in the modern commercial parts of the city where the best shopping areas can be seen. It will then wind through the narrow street of the historical quarter during which the history of the city will be explained and places of interest will be pointed out. The tour will end with an optional meal in a restaurant overlooking the Alhambra. The afternoon will be free for shopping, or to visit any of the monuments you have seen during the tour. In the evening you can choose to go to a flamenco show or the Arabic baths which includes a relaxing aromatherapy massage.

You can choose to take yourselves around the Alhambra and enjoy its beauty at your own pace or join one of the guided tours (for a supplement of £17.50) and learn more about its history. After the Alhambra we will drive into the Sierra Nevada for lunch in a typical restaurant serving traditional mountain fare, followed by a gentle stroll around the picturesque village of Guejar Sierra.

Day 5
