On the trail from Pampaneira to Bubion in the Alpujarras.
The church and the white buildings in the photo are Bubion. Rest there briefly, and then continue to the next village, Capilleira.

Abandoned.
It looks like someone started building holiday cottages here (wonderful views), but the construction was abandoned. Probably around the property crash of 2008.

Traditional Alpujarreña chimneys, Capilleira, Spain
Traditional houses in the Alpujarras are cubic in shape with a flat roof, traditionally made using magnesium clay, which is impervious to rain. Another typical characteristic of Alpujarreña architecture is the cylindrical chimney, topped with a flat stone, as seen in the photo.

I'm not sure what the rectangular surround around the first chimney is; that's not normal. Maybe it's a smoker for curing meat?

In the distance, you can see the Poquiera valley.

Which way? Signs on a walk between Capileira and Pampaneira.
The lower sign is to a Lavadero, which is a public washhouse/laundry. These are common in the Las Alpujarras villages. The lavadero comprises a row of stone or concrete sinks with rubbing boards fed by a constant flow of spring water. In this case, the Pileta spring.

Hibernation.
I took this photo to see how well the 50mm Elmar lens would cope with shooting into the sun. Answer: Better than I expected.

Living in the mountains.
I came across an old guy living on his own in the mountains, mostly outdoors. This is his outdoor living space. No mains services. He heated water for washing in a large pot over a wooden fire. He was well-travelled and spoke at least five languages.

I believe he had a house in Lanjaron, but he was happiest living on his own up in the mountains. He was very interested in my Leica IIIg - he used to have a Russian Zenit. Interesting guy.

An acequia is a community-operated watercourse used for irrigation; very common in Las Alpujarras.
