ビジャヌエバデラストーレスの峡谷・トップ5

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.

Beautiful viewpoint with views of the Sierra Nevada and the Badlands.

Impressive desert with interesting colors and rock formations.

Spectacular landscape for hiking or cycling. Every corner offers new perspectives. However, you should enter the area well prepared. You need to be in good shape and have enough supplies with you, as there is no water to be found anywhere.

Sublime section for riding gravel. I crossed Spain from north to south and this is my favorite place. Plan your water reserves carefully.

Beautiful viewpoint over the desert of Gorafe. A unique landscape full of gorges and valleys that is reminiscent of the Grand Canyon in the United States, but is also completely different and unique. If you turn around, you will see that you are standing on a plateau, which only makes the experience more special.

The Gorafe desert is a particularly beautiful place that - very different from the Sahara, for example - does not consist of loose sand, but a high stone plain that suddenly collapses into dozens of gorges and ravines. The landscape is somewhat reminiscent of the Grand Canyon in the USA, but is very different and unique. Several gravel roads run through the desert that are more than worth driving. Cycling here is a unique experience!

Beautiful view over the desert plains of Gorafe. You feel like you are on the edge of the world, where it crashes down all around you, resulting in a fantastic view.
