ベナマルゴサ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The Gothic and Mudéjar-style Church of San Juan Bautista in Vélez-Málaga was built in 1487 on the site of a medieval mosque. Throughout its history, it has undergone several renovations and structural changes. It was enlarged between 1541 and 1564, and its famous bell tower was added. It features three naves of six bays each, separated by six-pointed transverse arches. The central nave is the largest and contrasts in size with the other two. The other major restoration took place in the mid-19th century, during which Neoclassical features were added. The work was commissioned by Federico Vahey, Minister of Justice under Isabella II. It is a church of great architectural, historical, and artistic value.

The Alcazaba fortress of Vélez-Málaga is a historic Moorish fortress located on a hill overlooking the town. Built in the 9th century during Muslim rule, it was extended and rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries and served as a defensive structure. It became one of the most important citadels of the Kingdom of Granada. Today, little remains of the former fortress remain, but the Torre del Homenaje, the fortress's main tower, still stands and offers great views of Vélez-Málaga and the surrounding Axarquía countryside. The fortress is a worthwhile destination, and is particularly beautiful to visit in the evening when the town is bathed in warm light.

The municipality of Benamocarra belongs to the Axarquía region, which offers picturesque landscapes, whitewashed villages and agricultural traditions. The town dates back to the Moorish period of Al-Andalus, falling to the Catholic Monarchs in 1487. Therefore, the village has a rich history with Moorish and Andalusian influences and retains its traditional charm with narrow streets and historic architecture. Benamocarra is a worthwhile destination for a cycling tour, with sights such as the Iglesia de Santa Ana and the Plaza del Calvario. Nearby, detours to Vélez-Málaga with its historic old town and the Castillo are worthwhile.

A tour to Comares, one of the most beautiful white villages in Andalusia, is a challenging but worthwhile undertaking. Comares is located on a mountain peak in the Axarquía region, about 700 meters above sea level and offers spectacular views of the surrounding area. This tour is ideal for ambitious cyclists who want to enjoy steep climbs and a mix of nature and culture. A road bike or a mountain bike with good gears for the steep climbs is recommended. The route is suitable for experienced cyclists.

The climb is worth it for the wonderful view. Visiting the tower, which can be seen from far away, is also free.

A really beautiful hiking trail, mostly flat along the irrigation canals. The landscape is very varied and there is plenty of shade in the area around the canals.
