Black Magic in the Mountains

OK, so there isn’t much black magic going on up in the Alpujarra, but there are a lot of witches and wizards in Soportujar – even if it is just fancy dress – thanks to the III Feria de Embrujo de Soportujar.

Las Brujas

Brujas is the Spanish word for witches, and when you enter the bar, you realize why! Ana and Auxi, who run this fantastic place, take their witching very seriously. The whole bar is decked out with dolls and pictures of witches and ‘witchy’ paraphernalia; it’s almost like Halloween’s every day!
Brilliant tapas and rations of delicious, freshly prepared Spanish food make this one of my favourite places to hang out. The girls are really good fun, and mock me mercilessly, which I have to admit, is fully deserved.
