Cómpeta

The morning starts at Plaza Almijara, where the wet cobblestones reflect the glow of the white houses. An umbrella is essential in the narrow streets. At noon, the Church of La Asunción provides a dry and spiritual retreat from the showers rolling in from the Sierra. In the afternoon, we take refuge in the Museum of Popular Arts to dive into local history while the rain drums outside. The evening ends cozily in one of the bars on the square, where the scent of rain mingles with the aroma of Cómpeta wine.

The crisp winter air in the morning makes Cómpeta's white facades almost dazzling. A sweater is needed in the shaded alleys. At noon, the low sun warms the main square, perfect for enjoying tapas outdoors. In the afternoon, we walk to the Casas Colgantes as the golden light bathes the cliffs in warm hues. By 5:30 PM, the sun sinks behind the mountains, leaving a spectacular but chilly starry sky over the village.

Cómpeta offers challenging climbs for cyclists. After starting in the village, cycle to San Sebastián Chapel. Visit the Vendimia festival square and learn about winemaking at the Bodegas. The tour culminates at Mirador San Antón, a perfect spot for a breather with a view.

A challenging morning on two wheels. The climb to Plaza Almijara requires full concentration on the wet asphalt. At noon, we seek shelter at the Ermita de San Sebastián while drying our gear. The afternoon leads us to Bodegas Almijara – a perfect indoor visit to wait out the rain. In the evening, we return carefully, with the village lights sparkling on the wet ground.

A refreshing winter morning in the mountains. The climbs keep your body warm while the wind whistles around corners. At noon, Plaza de la Vendimia is the perfect sunny spot for a break before moving on. In the afternoon, we cycle towards the wineries as the low sun casts long shadows on the path. Towards evening, it gets significantly colder on the descent – gloves and a windproof jacket are worth their weight in gold now.

By car, you can easily reach the cultural and viticultural highlights of Cómpeta. Start at the Bodegas and then visit the 'Luz de la Vida' gallery. After lunch in the center, drive to San Sebastián Chapel and finally enjoy the panorama from Mirador San Antón.

A relaxed start at Bodegas Almijara while the rain patters against the windows. The car is the perfect base today. At noon, we explore the Luz de la Vida gallery – a cultural highlight on a gray day. In the afternoon, we park near Plaza Almijara and take advantage of the short distances between cafes to stay dry. The evening concludes with a drive to the Mirador, where the wet streets reflect the city lights like mirrors.

A sunny winter morning with clear views. The drive through the vineyards is particularly photogenic in this light. At noon, the Luz de la Vida gallery is pleasantly tempered while the sun floods through the windows. In the afternoon, we enjoy the lively atmosphere at Plaza Almijara before it gets chilly. The evening ends with a panoramic view from the Mirador, with the car's heater providing cozy warmth.
