Itinerary description

This walk starts and finishes at the Parkingplace of Capileira.
We walk along the Rio Poqueira valley to the small hydro-plant of this river (appr. 5Mw). We'll meet an abandoned village (Cebadilla) halfway this walk. We walk back at the west bound of the river meeting several rests of farms where the treshing floors are still visible.
Looking upwards you may enjoy the summits of the Sierra Nevada with some snow.
