18 tours
These are the 15 Andalusian Nature Parks and Deserts we would put money on. Price first, then how long the day actually runs, then who each one suits. The one at the top is the one Spain books most.

A day trip from Granada to La Alpujarra’s highest mountain villages, with mineral water stops, ham tastings, and optional traditional lunch.
“A Journey Through the Heart of the Alpujarra We embarked on a picturesque drive from Granada to Órgiva, the vibrant capital of the Western Alpujarra.

5-hour small-group e-bike tour in Sierra Nevada near Granada: coast downhill from high peaks, spot mountain goats and Mulhacén views, return safely.
“This tour was so good it did it again the following week! This is a well organised professional company with experienced guide and support. It's 80/20 downhill to uphill as you are driven 2000 meters into the mountains from where you cycle on the electric bikes back to Granada. The views are breathtaking. Its hard to put into words how beautiful it is. You dont need to be super fit but being confident on a bike is important as you are on it for around 3 hours. Mike the guide set the pace which was steady and safe. There is no pressure to race along, its much more lets enjoy…”
