In the magnificent Barranco del Poqueira three towns are located. At the bottom, near the river, the town of Pampaneira. In the middle part of the slope, the town of Bubión. The beginning of this stage is in Capileira, which is located at the highest level.
This whole route will have as a reference the characteristic profile of the south face of the Veleta. You ascend through the great hill that culminates in Pico Mulhacén. On the way up, you will pass through the Hoya del Portillo, the Puerto Molina viewpoint and the Alto del Chorrillo. From here you will descend to the Poqueira refuge.
The stage begins next to the recreational area of Capileira, at the exit of the town next to the last houses, along the road that was created to connect Granada and the Alpujarra through the high peaks of Sierra Nevada
