    Tips

    February 6, 2022

    Sierra de Baza and Sierra de Los Filabres are part of a remote mountain range over 2.000m height in the province of Granada and Almería, and the most isolated area of Badlands.

    This mountain range was a historic crossroads of cultures, and its legacy includes remains of Roman aqueducts or Arab castles.

    At the highest point of the range lies the iconic Calar Alto Observatory (2.168m), easy recognizable from fara way.

    The range also includes one of the most iconic and spectacular mountain pass in the Iberian Peninsula, el Puerto de Velefique (1.820m), popular by the high number of hairpin in the South side.

    The South limit of Sierra de los Filabres reaches the village of Gérgal, considered the North gate of the Tabernas Desert.

      Both mountain ranges ensure that it hardly rains in this semi-desert area.
