About This Route
A mountain road along the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, between white Moorish villages clinging to the hillside. From Lanjarón to Órgiva the valley is wide; then the road climbs into the Poqueira gorge, with Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira stacked one above the other, and runs along the slope to Trevélez, one of the highest villages in Spain, famous for its ham.
