DEPARTURE TOWARDS THE BARRANCO DE POQUEIRA GORGE

The Poqueira gorge is one of the most popular areas of the Alpujarras in Granada province. Practically suspended over the valley slopes, in staggered terraces over the ravine lie the three loveliest villages in the Alpujarras: Capileira, Bubión and Pampaneira. Three picturesque towns that have preserved their original architecture, which can be traced back to the Berber tribes that settled in this area.

A tour through a town with views of the highest peaks in the Spanish peninsular: Veleta and

Mulhacén.

Interpretation of the architecture of the Alpujarras and discovery of the terraos (flat

roofs) and tinaos (suspended buildings).

CAPILEIRA

A tour through a labyrinth of narrow streets in this peaceful, unspoiled town.

BUBIÓN

A lovely town that has wisely preserved its Moorish heritage. We will take a tour of its narrow streets to visit a loom where the typical Alpujarra rugs (jarapas) are still woven by hand, a public washing place that was used until 1965, and a factory.

PAMPANEIRA
