WHY COME?
THE
SURROUNDINGS
Situated a few kilometres from Gorafe at the end of the high plateau, it is strategically located, remote from civilisation, which enables us to be one with the environment.
At 1000 metres above sea level and raised approximately 4 metres above the ground, we have a clear and unobstructed view of the entire Geopark, Guadix, Baza, the Sierra Nevada, Cazorla and the Sierra Mágina. Offering a 360º view of the desert.
What’s more, it is an ideal jumping-off point for exploring trails by 4WD vehicle, biking and hiking.

RECOMMENDED SIGHTS
Negratín Reservoir
The more recent rivers such as the River Gor, on whose banks we find the town of Gorafe in the centre of the Geopark, have shaped this landscape incessantly in the course of the last 500,000 years, creating a unique territory that is characterised by its aridity, with striking gullies. The exposed rocks in the fluvial valleys of the Quaternary Geopark tell the story of its geological evolution, of ancient Mesozoic seas and of life during the Quaternary.
