The municipality of Soprtújar is located on the south face of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada.

It is one of the first villages from the west entrance to the Alpujarra and shares the typical features of all the villages in this area, which is characterized by narrow streets with memories of a Moorish past.

In the heart of the Alpujarra, a unique natural connection between the Mediterranean coast and Sierra Nevada, towered by the highest peaks in the Peninsula, Soportújar is a place to visit as part of the Alpujarra route.
