Capileira Holidays – In the heart of the gorgeous Alpujarras
Capileira holidays are based in the heart of Las Alpujarras, a charming region of astonishing beauty on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, 20 miles from the coast and 40 miles from the fabulous city of Granada. Holidays in Capileira are perfectly placed for enjoying the Alpujarras: a gorgeous region of dramatic picturesque white villages clinging to steep mountain slopes and linked by fabulous roads contouring the mountainside and offering constantly changing views at every twist and turn. It is a wonderfully peaceful unspoilt area that still retains immense charm, a centre of eco-tourism and a world away from the scene on the Costa del Sol. Capileira is an enchanting village: the second highest in Spain and the most famous and liveliest of three amazing traditional villages. The neighbouring mountain villages of Bubion and Pampaneira are equally impressive.
