Alsa line between Granada and the Poqueira villages; about 2 h from Capileira to Granada

The villages of the Poqueira gorge, Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira, have a regular Alsa bus to and from Granada. It is the way to reach the high Alpujarra without a car, and the one many hikers use to start or finish a walking route. From Capileira, the same company also continues to Trevélez.
Published timetables
Capileira town council publishes on its website the usual Alsa timetables since May 2025, and warns that they may change according to the day and season:

Capileira → Granada: leaves at 7:15 and arrives at 9:15; leaves at 16:50 and arrives at 18:35; leaves at 18:35 and arrives at 21:05.
Capileira → Trevélez: leaves at 12:15 and arrives at 12:50; at 14:30, arriving at 15:15; at 18:55, arriving at 19:45.

The town council does not publish the timetables in the Granada → Capileira direction. Check them, as it recommends, on the Alsa website (alsa.es), where tickets are also bought, or on its customer service phone, 902 42 22 42. The journey between Granada and Capileira takes about two hours, going down the Lecrín valley towards Lanjarón and Órgiva before climbing into the gorge.
How to use it for walking
With these timetables you can fit in the area's trails without a car. The Poqueira villages trail (PR-A 70) links the three villages in a 9.4 km circuit: if you arrive on the first morning bus from Granada, you have the whole day to do it and return on the afternoon one. The La Cebadilla trail (PR-A 69) leaves from the upper district of Capileira. The town council advises avoiding the middle hours of the day in summer and expecting cold or snow in winter.
In summer and autumn, the High Peaks minibus leaves from Capileira towards the Alto del Chorrillo, the starting point of the climb up Mulhacén. To avoid rushing, the practical thing is to sleep the night before in the village, for example at the Hotel Rural Finca Los Llanos.
Tips
Buy your ticket in advance in high season and on long weekends, because there are few departures a day. If you are going to Trevélez to eat or see the village, the 12:15 from Capileira gets you there before lunch. For the return, the last bus from Capileira to Granada leaves at 18:35 according to the municipal timetables: don't cut it fine. At the Capileira Town Hall they can confirm whether there are changes.
