Best Time to Visit
The Alpujarras offer year-round hiking opportunities. Spring and autumn are particularly spectacular with mild temperatures and vibrant landscapes. Winter hikes can be enjoyed in the lower valleys, while summer offers early morning or shaded forest trails to avoid the midday heat.

WHAT MY STUDENTS SAY
“Brilliant yoga teacher, I've been going to Sharon's classes for over 18 months now and they've helped me so much. She's always learning something new and then passing on what she's learnt in the class. Always fun always challenging, always helpful to a marathon runner like me!!”
“Have been going to Sharon's classes for over a year now and I love them. I started as a complete beginner and have been so impressed by her clear explanations, encouragement to all and above all her sheer joy in sharing yoga with others. She does a lot of continuing training and so regularly brings new ideas and insights into her weekly classes. Sharon is very good at adaptations for people working around injuries and at getting everyone in the class to work at his or her own level - more demanding variations for the people who are ready to progress but no pressure on those of us who need to take it more slowly.”
