Beautiful route to Galera.

The Sierra de María is located within the María-Los Vélez Natural Park, a protected natural area located near Vélez Rubio, Vélez Blanco, María, and Chirivel. It was officially recognized as such in 1987. It covers an area of more than 22,500 hectares and has a visitor information office in the town of Vélez Blanco. Its unique variety of interior microclimates also contributes to the proliferation of many different plant species. The abundant forest cover gives rise to the development of native Black and Corsican pine forests, which coexist with Aleppo pine as a result of various reforestation projects.

Granada town with great charm that is worth knowing.

This small town is located at 1034 meters above sea level in the Los Vélez region, Almería. The place name has origins in the Latin word "silvella", which means little forest. The origin of the current municipality is a group of houses from the Los Vélez manor, when in 1859 it achieved independence from Vélez Rubio. In any case, the archaeological remains found seem to indicate that there have already been settlements in the same place since prehistoric times.

María enjoys a privileged location at the foot of the Sierra de María-Los Vélez natural park. This town of white houses and red roofs is surrounded by peaks and slopes, as well as orchards of olive, almond and lavender trees.

The bare cliffs of the Sierra de María rise colossal above the plain and the trees. From this low point you can contemplate the contrast of this enchanting landscape.

From this track there are good views of La Muela and the castle of Vélez-Blanco. The agricultural landscape sits at the bottom of the valley, while the lush slopes of pine trees rule the higher elevations.
