Earlier this week, Tim and I ventured off on a day trip to a truly unique and quirky mountain village nestled in the Alpujarras area of southern Spain, an area we love.
Why did we choose this tiny, off-the-beaten-path village? Well, I’ve been busy researching for my forthcoming online event, “Witchcraft: The Real History,” and a friend mentioned a place that had fully embraced its historical links to sorcery, turning it into a fascinating tourist attraction. Naturally, I couldn’t resist exploring it for myself!
In the video below, I take you on a journey through Soportújar, a village where witchcraft meets history, with its Baba Yaga statues, mysterious caves, and even a Hansel and Gretel house! It’s a place steeped in folklore and magic, with a history tied to settlers who were once branded as sorcerers.
This trip was such an inspiring part of my research for the event, and I captured plenty of footage along the way. I hope you enjoy joining me for this video tour of Soportújar, a place that truly celebrates its enchanting past. We loved our day there!
