Capilerilla is the highest village of La Tahá, an area that includes seven of the ten population centres that still remain within the territory of the old Taha de Ferreyra, which is accessed by one of the most peculiar historical places of the area: the Sangre Ravine called this way for being scenery of a bloody battle during the War of the Alpujarras.
Royal roads, rain tanks, bridges, mills and canals form the patrimony of this district that has also millenarian chestnut trees, almost wild paths, enchanted fountains, old legends still alive and orange streams...
