The path runs alongside the Torvizcón ravine, passing through meadows where immense holm oaks grow, through farmland with vineyards, almond trees and fig trees, the three traditional products of the Contraviesa region.
With this hiking route we can relive some of the adventures, escapades and experiences that the great writer from Granada, Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, lived in 1872 during his trip through the Alpujarra on the backs of mules. The price includes transport and a visit to the “Alpujárride” wine interpretation center with a glass of wine and a tapa.
