Bubión

Where Tranquility Meets Mountain Majesty

Bubión, located on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, remains an unspoiled hideaway in the Alpujarras. This peaceful village with its white-washed houses tumbling down a hillside against the backdrop of imposing mountains provides a tranquil escape to rural Andalucía.

Bubión has preserved its traditional architecture beautifully, which consists of flat-roofed houses and pretty balconies filled with geraniums. The quiet cobbled streets, at times broken by the soft sounds of ancient water channels trickling nearby, take you back to another era.

The village’s elevation affords stunning views over the Poqueira Gorge, verdant valleys, and even across to the Mediterranean Sea and Moroccan coastline on clear days. You can see these breathtaking vistas best from Mirador de San Antonio which is next to 16th century church.

Bubión lies at the heart of Sierra Nevada National Park where one can explore nature’s beauty at its best. Within the vicinity there are several paths that radiate out from this village into different landscapes for both those who love walking or want challenging hikes. Bubión is also traversed by GR7 long-distance path part of European E4 route hence it is popular among walkers as well as cyclists.

In Bubión town centre there a number of old-fashioned bars and restaurants where you can have a taste of local cuisine including Alpujarran platter while enjoying exceptional hospitality.
