Top 2 Caves サファラヤでの

The Hermitage of Our Lady of the Angels is located on the Camino de la Trucha, which runs parallel to the Alhama or Marchán River, at the foot of the impressive Alhama Cliffs. There are two routes to reach the hermitage from the village. One is a wide dirt road that begins at the school, and another, which we liked the most, leads through one of the most beautiful places in Alhama. It begins at the old Pérez cinema, passes through the flour mills, and passes through some washhouses carved into the rock itself.

This crevice is or was a snow storage facility. Hence the “nickname” of the mountain. The peak is actually called Cima Tejeda. The cave, the Sima Maroma, was previously used as a snow storage facility. The snow was pulled up with the help of maromas, pull ropes, hence the name Sima Maroma. Because "Cima" and "Sima" sound so similar, the mountain is now called "Cima Maroma" or just La Maroma.

A charming chapel. Dating back to 1500, it is connected to a beautiful legend about a horse, which is told from generation to generation. See the footprints of the hooves on the rocks!
