Fantastically beautiful location and fantastic to look at. hard climb. Very well located as a starting point for the Valeta Pass. Regular bus connection to Granada, here you can take your bike (packaged/padded) with you.

La Alpujarra is a historical region with some of the most remote, picturesque and traditional villages in Andalusia. With an average elevation of 1.200 meters, the area is considered one of the hardest part of the route specially due to the steepness of its climbs.

At the village of Capileira starts the South climb to the Veleta Pass (3.212m), the natural mountain pass to the city of Granada. This off-road climb, without technical difficulties beyond the elevation and the mountain weather, includes some small shelters over 3.000m height (La Caldera, Villavientos and La Carihuela), although due to the snowfields the route is only cyclable in summer.
