In June this year loads and loads of red earth was deposited on the old asphalt in order to fix the potholes.
Now you can enjoy going to the Hoya del Portillo, at some 11 km from Capileira, altitude 2150m, without breaking your dashpot!
Here some photos we made in june when walking next to the Acequia alta.

This cortijo has the highest cherry trees in Europe, I think. This year the harvest will be scarce since the trees got a lot of frost when blossoming.

| Acequia Alta |

This year no worries about water in the Alpujarras, since there was a lot of snow this spring.

This year there is still lots of snow on top of Veleta. in august, which is extraordinary for this time of the year.
