The landslips of the last very wet winter have hindered progress on the stretch of the GR7 path between Soportujar and Lanjaron. Now new paths across the landslips are emerging. What has been in places a rough loose scramble is now back to the fine path through the Alpujarras we all know and enjoy.

Villages on the GR7 long distance path through the Alpujarras are conveniently placed about 2 hours apart. These provide welcome rest halts or overnight stops as one passes through the area. Our personal favourite is back from Capileira via Bubion, Pampaneira, Soportujar and Cañar to Lanjaron. Takes a leisurely 6-7 hours, passes through spectacular scenery and white villages and is mostly downhill!
The weather in the month has been strange for the Alpujarras. The first half of the month saw unusually warm and clear conditions. Little snow was to be found on the high peaks. In contrast the second half has seen very mixed weather with prolonged periods of cloud and rain. Indeed, some of the heaviest rain seen in these parts for many years with 49mm in one hour on 22nd December.
