イリャル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Íllar is a southern Spanish village and municipality (municipio) in the province of Almería with 460 inhabitants (as of 2024).

For most of the year it is a dry gorge and a great place to enjoy not only views of the impressive geology (in places the heavy, compressed earth crust hangs sheerly above eroded pillars of earth) but also rare birds such as the 'Hobby' which is only found in this part of Europe.

La Balsa de la Chanata is a mountain lagoon in the Sierra de Gádor, Almería, at 1,423 m above sea level at the junction of Enix, Felix, Instinción, Bentarique and Terque.

In the Al-Andalus period, the town was in a different location. It was in a higher area called "lugarejo". Jorge Lirola assures us that Illar comes from the Arabic word al-Aliya, meaning "la Alta" (the high one).

quite nice bigger village with few shops shops and café

The Canales de Padules, between the Sierras de Gádor and Sierra Nevada, are a natural jewel in the Alpujarra of Almería. This stretch of the Andarax River, recognized as a Natural Monument, offers a landscape of pools and waterfalls. Part of the Three Towns Trail, the route reveals ancient grapevines and remains of mills, providing a refreshing experience next to the moderate flow of the river. Las Canales de Padules are a refuge of peace and authenticity, defying the conventional expectations of Almería.

The Rambla de los Yesos is an impressive place. The river bed of dark sand and the gypsum walls that flank it create a spectacular contrast.

The Andarax river is born in a town very close to Padules, this town is Laujar de Andarax. This well-known river in our province passes through Padules and its section is a route full of nooks, falls, pools and canyons. All this route receives the name of Los Canales de Padules.
