Nestled in the Poqueira ravine, between the Mediterranean coast and Sierra Nevada, Capileira stands out for its special charm, typical of the villages along the Alpujarra route.
Capileira matches the distinctive image of the villages of the Alpujarra of Granada, with houses adapted to the uneven terrain and local climate, and built around narrow streets bearing vestiges of its Moorish past. These are cubic houses, generally with two floors and covered with a flat roof. The town centre features the Pedro Antonio de Alarcón Ethnological Museum, which shows the popular customs of the Alpujarra, and the 18th-century church of Santa María la Mayor.
