Trevelez

November 2nd, 2008 | city |

Trevelez is the higest village of Europe and is famous for the fact that the well-known Serrano ham is being dryed in this village. Unfortunately we were there during siesta hours, but it was still a very beautiful and cosy little village. Just a little quiet at that time of the day

All the houses in the Alpujarras have very typical chimneys:

@Jeronimo: Sounds cool! Trevelez is one valley further then Capileira. But Capileira was a bit nicer, I thought. By the way, these are holiday pictures from september. I’m not in Spain at the moment

Wonderful with the dark context of the light toned village. I also like the details in the mountains at the back as well as the tones making the image look a few decades older than it actually is. Good work!
