Route

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.
