The sanctuary of the Virgin of Cabeza de Monteagud, in Benizalón, stands at the top of Monteagud Hill and is one of the most iconic sites in the area. The hermitage, built on the site of an old Muslim ribat, houses the venerated image of the Virgin, a center of devotion for residents and pilgrims from throughout the region. Every year it hosts a mass pilgrimage that fills the area with a festive and religious atmosphere. For hikers, the climb offers excellent panoramic views, so it's a good idea to wear comfortable shoes and water.

Tahal Castle, nestled in the Sierra de los Filabres, was built in the 15th and 16th centuries to control the routes between the Almanzora Valley and Tabernas. Although it remains in a state of consolidated ruin today, its large rectangular keep, with its elevated entrance and masonry walls, is still impressive. Next to it, you can see the remains of a circular tower, the walled enclosure, and a cistern that provided water in the event of a siege. Freely accessible, it is an interesting place to combine history and hiking in this part of Almería.

In 1227, Pastor Juan de Ribas, originally from Colomera (Granada), witnessed the apparition of the Virgin on a hill in the Sierra Morena. He asked her to build a temple in her honor, and a few years later, the devotion led to the construction of a building that still stands today.

The route through Tahal is very scenic. I didn't stop here, I don't walk around with racing bike shoes and cleats to look at something.

It was bigger than almeria.

The Castle of Tahal is located at the end of the town of the same name. The state of conservation is good and it is in a state of consolidated ruin. Free access and was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest with the category of Monument

View of the town of Tahal, located on a slope of the Sierra de los Filabres, next to a ravine, between almond and holm oak trees. From here, its houses appear even whiter, as their staggered facades are visible, on which the parish tower stands out.

The castle of Líjar is a construction of the XXI century. As in all defensive constructions, the material used is stone. It is a castle-shaped building, located in the highest area of the town. Although it is true that neither in the Book of Appeals and Distribution, nor in the cadastre of the Marqués de la Ensenada there appear reliable data of the existence of a Castle in Líjar, clear evidence such as Castillo Street and Torrecica Street are more than sufficient for its guess. In addition, its exceptional location, on the edge of a precipice, whose height can exceed 100 meters, with a totally perpendicular cut and dominating the entire wide valley, its elevated position at the top of a hill, is in itself a key defensive element. Starting from its possible existence, the idea that originated the construction of this castle was none other than to energize the activity in the municipality, diversifying the economic sectors of Líjar, through reconstruction, the enhancement of the environment and the creation a tourist office and exhibition hall inside it, in addition to having a viewpoint from which you can see the entire town, its plain and much of the mountains.
