Anyone who speaks of Trevélez cannot help but talk about Serrano ham. The sign at the entrance to the town leaves no doubt that "Jamón" plays an important role here. Drying warehouses belonging to ham producers can be found everywhere. The three different quarters of the village of Trevelez are separated by an altitude difference of around 200 m. But even if strolling through the narrow, steep streets of the mountain village is a little arduous, it is still worth the effort.

Capileira is a wonderful destination to visit! This charming village is located in the Alpujarra Granadina, in the foothills of Sierra Nevada, and offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

This is a series of loops that leave a village, cross the river at another village and return to the start village. The length depends on you. We changed our minds and everything worked fine.
