At La Placeta Guesthouse, we invite you to experience the magic of an authentic Alpujarran country house, nestled at an altitude of 1,300 meters. Lovingly restored in 2012, our property offers independent, soulful accommodations within a private estate where the gentle sound of water and the pure mountain air take center stage.

We look forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable Alpujarran stay. Manolo & Jaime La Placeta Guesthouse (Pórtugos, Granada)
Hi! We are Manolo and Jaime. A few years ago, we decided to take a leap and change our lives completely. We left the city's frantic pace behind to start a new, peaceful, and authentic chapter in the high Alpujarra of Granada. We live on-site at La Placeta Guesthouse with our twins, Abril and León, and our large furry family: our dogs Flamenca and Dado, and our beloved cat Candela, whom you will surely spot soaking up the sun in the garden. We are passionate about sharing this peaceful corner of the world with people who, like us, are looking to disconnect and reconnect with nature. We’ll be delighted to recommend our favorite trails through La Taha, the Poqueira Gorge (Capileira, Bubión, and Pampaneira), Trevélez, or the hidden gems of Pórtugos to make your stay truly unforgettable. Pet-Friendly at La Placeta We know how important it is to travel with your life companions. That’s why pets are welcome in our accommodations, subject to the following house rules to ensure a harmonious stay for everyone: - Upon Request: It is essential to contact us before finalizing your booking. - Respect & Manners: We expect calm and respectful behavior toward other guests and our own resident animals. - Indoor Care: Pets are not allowed on sofas or beds. - Common Areas: In the garden and shared spaces, pets must always be kept on a leash and under your supervision. Supplement: A pet fee per stay will apply.
Strategic Location in the Heart of the High Alpujarra La Placeta Guesthouse is located in Pórtugos, at an altitude of 1,300 meters, in a privileged natural setting that combines absolute peace with an unbeatable location. We are perfectly situated between the famous villages of the Poqueira Gorge (Capileira, Bubión, and Pampaneira) and the iconic village of Trevélez. This location is ideal whether you want to tour some of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Spain" or simply relax in an authentic environment far from the crowds. A Hiker’s Paradise If you love walking, you’ve found your perfect base. To fully enjoy everything the area has to offer, we recommend booking several nights, as numerous trails start directly from our doorstep: - La Taha Circular Route: A gem of traditional paths that allows you to visit Pitres, Capilerilla, Atalbéitar, Mecina Fondales, Mecinilla, Ferreirola, and Fondales on foot, returning to La Placeta without ever needing your car. - Poqueira Gorge: Just a stone's throw away, you can hike the trail connecting the three most iconic villages of the Alpujarra: Pampaneira, Bubión, and Capileira. An essential route to admire the Moorish architecture and high-mountain landscapes. - The Mulhacén Challenge: For the more adventurous, you can start routes of varying difficulty from here, including the trek to the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula! - Natural Wonders: Don't miss the nearby Fuente Agria and the Chorreón waterfall in Pórtugos, along with the emblematic Churriana neighborhood—key landmarks of local Alpujarran architecture and nature. Don’t worry about the planning: all our accommodations are equipped with extensive tourist information and trail maps. Once you arrive, we will provide all the tips you need to experience the region like a true local.
