Pampaneira walks

The 3 white villages of Pampaneira, Bubion and Capileira in Spain's Sierra Nevada are linked by a well-marked footpath that allows you to admire the region without much difficulty for walkers. The welcome is warm, the walkers rare and the scenery magnificent. Unique views from the opposite shore, inaccessible to other tourists in vehicles.

This route is a round trip from the car park just before the entrance to the Nerja caves. The path is wide and stony. After a little over 6 km, you will arrive at Cortigo de la Sibila (ruins), the last flat area before tackling the 4 km climb to the summit. Be careful before the summit as there are fewer signs. Look for blue or red markings and mounds of stones (cairns). At the summit, you will find a cross. You will have a view of the coast (Nerja, Maro, Torrox, etc.) and the Sierra Nevada if the sky is clear. Return via the same route.
