Destacados

On this self-guided audio tour, you'll discover Capileira’s rich history, including the Rebellion of the Alpujarra and the role of the silk industry.

You’ll find out about their characteristically grey roofs, coloured by the magnesium-rich clay used in them. Continuing down, you’ll make your way through the maze of charming alleyways to the bottom of the village. You’ll pass the Mirador de Poqueira, which is a great vantage point for admiring the picturesque villages further down the valley. The tour ends back in the picturesque main square.

Itinerario

  1. Capileira clings to the side of the Poqueira Gorge, looking down on the neighbouring villages of Bubión and Pampaneira. The narrow gorge lies at the western end of the Alpujarra, a geographic and cultural region that until recently, was largely inaccessible and so developed a unique culture and way of life. On this self-guided walking tour, you'll learn about the area’s rich history, including the Rebellion of the Alpujarra and the role of the silk industry.
