デエサスデグアディックスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The 47 km loop is breathtaking for about half of the tour: mind-blowing views as far as the eye can see over 360°. Then in the second part, lots of roads that climb constantly... you have to be in good shape for this loop. The little extra: the tapas bar in the city center after that.

Hydrogeological studies show that the thermal waters of Alicún de las Torres come mainly from the carbonate aquifer of the Sierra de Baza and, to a lesser extent, from the waters of the Mencal aquifer. Scientists estimate that the aquifer is located at a depth of at least 650 to 800 meters.

The Troil Canal. According to scientists, they date back at least 3600 years ago. Due to the precipitation of calcium carbonate, these canals grew and continuously formed these amazing walls (some of them are 4 meters wide at the base, less than a meter wide at the top, 15 meters high and reach a length of almost 750 meters

The Negratín reservoir was inaugurated in 1984 and its construction meant the disappearance of the town of Las Juntas and the old spa of Zujar, as well as various farmhouses that remained under the waters of the reservoir. The Negratín reservoir is the second largest reservoir in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, with more than 567 Hm3.

The Gorafe Desert is a natural gem located in the province of Granada. This desert is characterized by its impressive geological formations, known as “badlands”, which create a landscape of canyons, ravines and fairy chimneys. The desert is located in the Guadix-Baza Depression, a sedimentary basin that once housed a lake. Today, it is famous for its changing colors throughout the day, ranging from ochres and reds to yellows. In addition, the area is rich in paleontological and archaeological sites, including more than 240 dolmens in the Gorafe Megalithic Park.

Special natural source that is many decades old and continues to grow due to natural lime deposits from the water.

The Acequia del Toril is a porous limestone aqueduct, more than 1.5 km long and more than 10 meters high at some points. Its natural construction over millennia has been used since prehistoric times to supply a settlement from one of the eight nearby hot springs. This meandering geological formation, with walls up to three meters thick, remains an impressive testament to natural engineering and human use of water.

A very interesting natural phenomenon that goes back to the first humans and beyond. An old calcareous water source that has been building itself for many thousands of years to the wall it has become today. At the top, the water still flows abundantly through the source. The water is still clearly visible on the road side, as the surrounding ground is even higher.
