Accompanied by local guides who are natives of Soportújar, we will show you our town from the inside, as we who were born and raised in its streets know it. During the tour, we will share its history, legends, curiosities, and hidden details, and we will explain how its unique association with witchcraft came about. We will help you understand the development that is completely changing the town's future: the Embrujo project, an initiative that is transforming Soportújar and making it one of the most unique and most visited villages in the Alpujarra region.
We will begin the tour at the entrance to the village, next to one of its most recognisable symbols: the gigantic head of Baba Yaga. There, we will introduce ourselves and kick off a cultural, fun, and participatory experience that will take us on a joint tour of this quirky and beautiful Alpujarra town.
With us, you will also discover that Soportújar is much more than just witches. From its many viewpoints, we will be able to enjoy spectacular views, considered among the best in the entire Alpujarra region, as from here we can see the Mediterranean Sea perfectly and, when the sky is particularly clear, even Africa on the horizon at sunset, a landscape that surprises all visitors.
During the tour, we will also discuss the typical Alpujarra architecture, a hallmark of the region, and its most distinctive features that can still be seen in our town today. We will also note the similarities and differences between this typical architecture in Soportújar and that found in other neighbouring towns in the region, gaining a better understanding of how it has historically adapted to the environment, the climate, and the ways of life of its inhabitants.
We will also explore unique places, such as the narrowest street in Andalusia, which we will walk down together during the tour, and we will learn about the origin of the town's name, its traditions, and many stories that typically go unnoticed by those who visit the town on their own.
What's more, during the tour, we'll put you to the test, as some of the sculptures conceal hidden “riddles”—small details that most tourists fail to discover. Together, we will try to solve them as we walk through the streets and uncover new secrets.
Throughout the tour, we will be happy to answer any questions, curiosities, or concerns you may have. We are not just tour guides: we are locals and true experts on Soportújar and the Alpujarra, and we love to share everything that makes this region unique and special.
With this guided tour, we guarantee that you will fully understand how Soportújar has rapidly transformed from a completely unknown place into one of the most visited villages in the famous Alpujarra region, and even in the whole of Granada.
