Trevélez (pronounced [tɾeˈβeleθ]) is a village in the province of Granada, Spain. Its population in 2011 was estimated at 823. The river Trevélez flows through the village. It is located in the western part of the Alpujarras region.
Two of the highest mountains in Spain, Mulhacén and Alcazaba, are just to the north of the village, a few hours' walk away. Located at a height of 1486 metres, Trevélez is sometimes claimed to be the highest village in Spain. However, it is not the highest municipality of Spain: that honour goes to Valdelinares, which is located in the Sierra de Gúdar range of the Sistema Ibérico, in the province of Teruel, Aragon.
