Cats from Capileira {Spain}

on
capileira hiking trail

The Lonely Planet Andalucia Travel Guide describes Capileira as “a different kind of white village, clinging to a steep-sided valley in Las Alpujarras where crafts are hewn and hikers strike out for the Sierra Nevada.” 

The balmy climate in this mountainous region turns the grass dry. Lizards skitter between boulders and cairns. A clowder of newborn kittens seeks refuge in the shadows. 

Tourists follow the famous Capileira hiking trail to enjoy the best views of the mountains and villages of the Sierra Nevada. No wonder Capileira is considered one of the world's great hiking destinations. 

Life is slow here in Capileira. Life is good.
