This fabulous viewpoint located in Capileira is located at the foot of the slopes. It contemplates two different interpretation areas, although both share the fact of offering an impressive panoramic view. Access is through paths delimited by stones and, in addition, the equipment has different interpretive panels with information about the geological history of the area as well as its most notable fauna. In short, Puerto Molina is a must-see stop on the way up from Hoya del Portillo to the Trevélez viewpoint. The views of the southern part of the Sierra Nevada Natural Park on the one hand, with the Poqueira ravine, the Toril river and practically the entire line of three thousand before your eyes, and the contraviesa, Sierra de Lújar and the Mediterranean Sea, on the clearer days, on the other, make this emblematic place a special viewpoint.
