The PR A 70 below Capileira is currently - 7.8.24 - closed. An alternative route via the road is therefore necessary.

It is a circular route that leaves Pampaneira, passes through Bubion and Capileira. At Capileira it descends to the Mulhacen River and crosses it at the Abuchite Bridge. When we crossed the river we passed to the other side of the ravine and went back to Pampaneira.
