The Gorafe desert is a particularly beautiful place that - very different from the Sahara, for example - does not consist of loose sand, but a high stone plain that suddenly collapses into dozens of gorges and ravines. The landscape is somewhat reminiscent of the Grand Canyon in the USA, but is very different and unique. Several gravel roads run through the desert that are more than worth driving. Cycling here is a unique experience!

Sublime section for riding gravel. I crossed Spain from north to south and this is my favorite place.

Plan your water reserves carefully.
