Capileira

Capileira Essentials

Capileira sits at 1,436 meters, the highest of the three villages in the Poqueira Gorge. This selection highlights the town's role as the primary base for Sierra Nevada expeditions, including routes to Mulhacén, the Iberian Peninsula’s highest peak. Key sites include the 16th-century Mudéjar-style parish church, an ethnological museum, and strategic viewpoints overlooking the Veleta peak and Trevélez valley. The village preserves traditional Berber-influenced architecture characterized by flat roofs and narrow, winding streets.
