Capileira Village

Highlight • Settlement

The small town of Capileira, in addition to being beautiful, is surrounded by trails to walk through to enjoy nature. Its architecture is typical of La Alpujarra: narrow, steep streets, flanked by houses with their traditional chimneys and "terraos" (the typical roofs of the region).

Hoya del Portillo Recreational Area

Highlight • Rest Area

La Hoya del Portillo, located at an altitude of 2,150 meters, is located at the end of the public road that arrives from Capileira. In the recreational area you can leave your car and go to the Altas Cumbres Interpretation Center to find out about the Sierra Nevada National Park.

Trevélez village

Highlight • Settlement

This town, located at 1,476 meters above sea level on the southwest slope of Mulhacén, is not exactly the highest town in Spain as some claim, but its municipal area is since the Mulhacén peak is located there. It is for this reason that some of its agricultural lands are also among the highest in Europe. Its name comes from the Latin "velex" which means "valley".

Tajos del Ángel Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you want to access the viewpoint, you just have to walk along a paved road that takes you there in a gentle climb. The views from above are spectacular: you can see the high mountains of Sierra Nevada, as well as the entire Poqueira ravine and its three famous towns: Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira.
