The Church of Nuestra Señora del Rosario is the parish church of Bubión, in the Alpujarra of Granada, located in the lower part of the town, next to the Plaza Doctor Pérez Ramón and in the surroundings of the ravine. It is a temple of clear parochial function and of strong landscape presence within the historical set of the town. Its origin dates back to the 16th century and the tourist bibliography describes it as a construction of Mudejar tradition. The church was built in the context of the Christian reorganization after the conquest of the Kingdom of Granada, on the site of an old mosque, according to various sources consulted. The building has undergone several transformations over time: it was affected by the rebellion of the Alpujarras and by the earthquakes of the 19th century, which forced partial or almost total rebuilding in later stages. This history explains its present appearance, the result of successive reconstructions rather than a single constructive moment. Among its most cited elements are the single nave, the main doorway and the tower, which is linked to the remains of an ancient minaret or tower from the Islamic period. Also mentioned is its role as an urban and visual landmark in Bubión, due to its relationship with the old cemetery and the traditional layout of the municipality.

The Mirador del Barranco del Poqueira is a panoramic viewpoint located in Bubión, in the Alpujarra of Granada, within the scope of the Barranco de Poqueira and the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada. It is a viewpoint of simple access, associated with the roadside and open views over the valley, with the sequence of heights and slopes that characterizes this area of medium and high mountains. From here one can contemplate the narrow ravine excavated by the Poqueira River, with the staggered arrangement of Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira on the slope, as well as agricultural terraces, riverside vegetation, chestnut and oak groves. The interest of the place lies in the landscape reading of the relief, in the traditional Alpujarra architecture and in the historical relationship between the settlement and the use of the land. The environment is part of the Historic Site of the Barranco de Poqueira, declared of Cultural Interest, and is one of the most representative scenarios of the Alpujarra. Its value is not only visual: it helps to understand the human adaptation to the Mediterranean mountain and the continuity of traditional agricultural uses in a protected landscape. It is a recommended stop for those who travel through Bubión and want a complete view of the valley, with special interest on clear days, when the depth of the ravine and the profile of the Sierra Nevada can be seen more clearly.

The Museo Casa Alpujarreña is an ethnographic museum located in Bubión, in the province of Granada, in the region of the Alpujarra. It is located in the Plaza de la Iglesia, at coordinates 36.94920, -3.35464, in the historic center of the village. The building is a traditional Alpujarran house converted into a museum to show the material culture and daily life of the area. Local sources place it as an old house linked to the stage of the Reconquest and, more precisely, to the sixteenth century; in any case, its origin is associated with the rural domestic architecture that emerged after the expulsion of the Moors. Its heritage value lies in the preservation of the structure and atmosphere of an Alpujarran house, with domestic rooms and traditional furniture. The exhibition brings together more than 500 objects related to agricultural uses, farm work, tools, household items and elements of family life, offering a documented vision of the rural culture of the Alpujarra. It is, therefore, a house-museum of ethnographic and local character, designed to preserve and explain the traditional way of life of Bubión and its surroundings. Its tourist interest derives both from the historical building and the collection that interprets the material memory of the region.
