A charming, cosy place it demonstrates well the typical architectural feature of the "tinao"; parts of the streets where the terraces of the houses are built across the street to join with those on the opposite side, forming shady cool passages and nooks between the houses.
The next few hours of the walk are very exiting for me. Passing into the valley of the RioPoqueira, the route passes the sister villages of Capileira, Bubión and Pampaneira, to me the most beautifull part of The Alpujarra.
Many foreigners are to be seen, some living here for a large part of the year, particularly during the winter, and many more visit in groups or individually, on walking holidays, I met with more than one large group on this section.
It lies at the confluence of the Rio Trevélez with a smaller stream, to the southwest of Mulhacén, the highest peak of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The Rio Trevélez rises in the Sierra Nevada to the north of the town, and flows south and west from Trevélez, through a narrow gorge to the south of the La Tahá villages, eventually converging with the RioPoqueira shortly before flowing into the Rio Guadalfeo.
