Accompanied by local guides who are natives of Soportújar, we'll show you our village from the inside, just as we who were born and raised in its streets know it. During the tour, we'll share its history, legends, curiosities, and hidden gems, and we'll explain how its unique association with witchcraft came about. We'll help you understand the event that is completely changing the future of the town: the Embrujo project, an initiative that is transforming Soportújar and turning it into one of the most unique and visited villages in the Alpujarra.
We'll start the tour at the entrance to the village, next to one of its most recognisable symbols: the gigantic head of Baba Yaga. There, we'll introduce ourselves and kick off a cultural, fun, and interactive experience that will take us on a tour together through this intriguing and beautiful village in the Alpujarra.
With us, you'll also discover that Soportújar is much more than witches. From its numerous vantage points, we can enjoy spectacular views, considered among the best in the entire Alpujarra, as from here we can perfectly see the Mediterranean Sea and, when the sky is especially clear, even Africa on the horizon at sunset, a landscape that amazes all visitors.
During the tour, we'll also talk about typical Alpujarra architecture, a hallmark of the region, and its most distinctive features that can be seen in our village today. We'll also note the similarities and differences between this typical architecture in Soportújar and that of other neighbouring villages 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'll also explore unique places such as the narrowest street in Andalusia, which we'll walk through together during the tour, and we'll learn about the origin of the town's name, its traditions, and many stories that usually go unnoticed by those who visit the village on their own.
What's more, during the tour we'll put you to the test, as some of the sculptures hide “riddles,” small details that most tourists never discover. Together, we'll try to solve them as we stroll through the streets and uncover new secrets.
Throughout the tour, we'll be happy to answer any questions, curiosities, or concerns you may have. We're not just tour guides: we're locals and great experts on Soportújar and the Alpujarra, and we love to share everything that makes this land unique and special.
With this guided visit, we guarantee that you'll fully understand how Soportújar has quickly gone from being completely unknown to becoming one of the most visited villages in the famous Alpujarra region and even in all of Granada.
Discover the authentic village of the witches with us… and everything that makes it unique!
