Capileira Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

On the slopes of Sierra Nevada is Capileira, a small white town that opens its doors to a world of unparalleled colour.

Capileira is one of those white Andalusian villages in Granada that everyone should visit once in their lives. In spring and summer, the whiteness of the houses is complemented by the colours of the flowers that decorate the many balconies. When it snows, the houses offer an enchanting snowy backdrop. It doesn't matter what time of year you spend your holiday in Capileira, this beautiful town never disappoints.

Almost the entire town of Capileira is within the Sierra Nevada National Park. Its position on the slopes of Mount Veleta, in the Poqueira ravine, has seen it classified as a Historic-Artistic Site. Due to its location, many consider that Capileira is the gateway to the National Park. The village's lookout point also offers incredible views of the neighbouring municipalities and other distant peaks.

Take advantage of our cheap trips to Capileira and find out why it is a Historic-Artistic Site in a particularly picturesque setting. The village is also considered to be a fine example of traditional rural Spanish architecture. Walking through its cobbled streets, admiring the houses, you will find interesting craft shops and excellent restaurants – do not forget to buy a souvenir of your stay or try one of the local dishes.

The parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza is another of Capileira's attractions. This seventeenth-century church has two major attractions: an icon of the Virgin Mary from the fifteenth century and a baroque altarpiece from the seventeenth century. Don't miss the Pedro Antonio de Alarcón House-Museum, a completely restored house that shows what life in the Alpujarras was like at the end of the 19th century.

A bus runs from Granada to Capileira, making it very easy to get there. Take the train or fly to the provincial capital and then catch a bus. No matter which option you choose, we have a wide range of Capileira holiday packages that will save you money.

"Everything was great except the hotel never provided water to drink, no English breakfast tea in the morning and milk. We are so used to coffee / tea and that was a big minus. Rest all was great"
