What to see in Pampaneira Liberty Square The town's central hub, with bars, craft shops, and the tourist office. Church of the Holy Cross Built in the Mudéjar style in the 16th century on the site of a former mosque. Fountain of Saint Anthony ("La Chumpaneira") Famous for its legend: whoever drinks from it will find a partner. It's located next to the church. Traditional streets Such as Silence Street or Veronica Street, with Berber architecture, covered walkways, and terraced roofs. Chocolate Factory A delightful place to visit and buy handcrafted products.

This mountain hut was closed for a long time due to renovations (from 2023), see the relevant website for more information (Spanish).

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.

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.
