Scenic vista point and accss to two parallel steeper trails above and below this remarkably gradual gravel road. Cork oaks with thick bark thrive at this elevation

Just off to both sides of the gradual Colmenares gravel road, steeper side roads and trails beckon to explore the nature reserve. Asphodelus albus flowers cover the slopes in early spring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphodelus_albus

At every turn of this well-built smooth gravel road the views open up across the valley and mountains to the west.

Clean mountain water and nature trails attracts visitors to this pristine area. They drive all the way up here along the gravel road to fetch it in water bottles

Outstanding overlook off the western side of the nature park, to a round water basin and helipad, against the valley backdrop

Generous open recreation area along the Colmenares gravel road, with campsites in the shade under trees, picnic sites with fireplaces, drinking water fountain, restrooms, shelters, seasonal restaurant, and great trailhead information panels

A large bronze sculpture dominates this overlook of the Río del Alcázar source valley. The little rest area with a platform raised on natural stone walls along the Colmenares gravel forest road is an unexpected quality in this remote location, thanks to the nature preserve.

This very small village is situated on a fertile piece of land on top of a mountain ridge as you drive further into the mountains from Velez Malaga towards Alhama de Granada. The Neanderthals were already settled here, as evidenced by human remains found in the natural caves nearby. This region was and still is very fertile and therefore very worthwhile to settle. The Phoenicians, Romans and later from the 8th century the Moors also knew this. If you visit there you will not see much, much is "new". This is because in 1884 this was the epicentre of an earthquake and considerable damage was caused. The area is beautiful, mountainous, green and with a lot of agriculture. It is certainly worth taking the road from here to the nearby Alhama de Granada, which is certainly worth it. The village itself is small and quiet, with a traditional Andalusian appearance. The white houses, narrow streets and friendly community make it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
