Las Alpujarras

This hiking trip was included in our program fees so it was an easy decision to go! Las alpujarras are made up of multiple small towns on the south end of the sierra nevada moutain range, with hiking trails connecting them. (pampaneira, bubion, capileira, y capilerilla) We hiked for two full days and stayed in the town of pampaneira over night.

The first day was absolutely perfect. It was 70 degrees and sunny. We hiked for a couple of hours and then stopped for a picnic. It was a really pretty hike with wild flowers and small rivers everywhere!









At the end of the night we all had dinner together in town. A lot of people got rabbit but I got steak since it was free! The interesting thing about the rabbit is that it wasn't just the legs it was the entire rabbit. teeth, brains, stomach all included.



The second day was much different than the first! It was very cloudy and rained off an on the whole day. It was fun because we literally hiked over the tip of  a mountain to get to the other side rather than going around the side.
Instead of having a picnic we had to eat our lunches in the ONE gym of the town. We even left a little early because the rain became too much of a problem.
