Since Komoot had not recorded the tour properly (various "flight routes"), I had to reconstruct it.

Very nice, recommendable tour!

April 13, 2024,Las Cebadillas y Central Hidraúlica de Poqueira – circular desde Capileira

We started from Bubion because we only wanted to move our car, which we had parked with great effort 🚗, once more, namely on the way. 😂I stopped the recording in Capileira because I had no battery left. So there are another 1-2 km to go. A scenic and culturally very interesting tour in the Alpujarra.

Lost in a fantastically barren mountain landscape on the southern slope of the Sierra Nevada lies this village from the Moorish era. As in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains, the settlers created irrigated terraced fields and left behind unique architecture.
And there is plenty of water. No one needs to lug plastic bottles to …
