The town of the witches of the Alpujarra is Soportújar, in the province of Granada. To locate it on a map or prepare your trip, look for that municipal name: “witch town” is its tourist name.
What will you find there
The Town Hall guide identifies the Dragon Fountain and a recreation of Baba Yaga’s house in the upper part of the town. They are tourist elements inspired by stories of witchcraft: the house represents a legendary character, not a historical home attributed to a real person.
Among the municipal highlights is the viewpoint with two figures of witches and a cauldron. You can take these references to decide which corners you want to look for during the walk.
How to orient yourself within the town
The municipal guide places the House of Baba Yaga in the upper part and describes the arrival at the Dragon Fountain from the Plaza de Abastos, going down Estación Street. The Town Hall is at Plaza de Abastos, 1; You can use the space as a reference to prepare your stops, without confusing it with guaranteed parking.
How to prepare for arrival
Enter “Soportújar, Granada” as your destination and check access and parking for the day of your visit. If you go by bus, confirm the exact stop, the last stretch to the town and the return. Don’t calculate the trip solely from the straight-line distance.
For municipal inquiries, the City Council publishes 958 785 331 and soportujar@dipgra.es. If you need to avoid steps or slopes, ask about the specific section you want to travel and the access conditions before traveling.

How long to reserve
It depends on the stops, the photographs, the waits and the pace of the group. You can dedicate the plan to the urban area or expand it with another activity, but avoid adding an excursion outside the town as if it were just another stop on the same tour.
