Pampaneira

Pampaneira stands at 1060 meters elevation in the Poqueira Gorge, featuring white houses with flat roofs and traditional Berber-style chimneys throughout its streets.

The village architecture combines Roman foundations with substantial Moorish influences, evident in the construction methods that remained after the 1609 expulsion of the Moors.

Local artisans maintain centuries-old traditions through their workshops, producing handmade textiles, ceramics, leather goods, and regional food specialties in the village center.

Regular bus services connect Pampaneira with Granada, making it accessible for visitors who want to explore the Sierra Nevada Mountains and neighboring mountain communities.

The village contains covered passageways called tinaos, which protect residents from weather while connecting different parts of the community through arched stone corridors.
