グアディクスの天然記念物・トップ20

Double-check the trails! The river valley was completely overgrown and almost impossible to get through. It's a real ordeal to find your way back out! Not all of the trails on Komoot actually exist, and not all of the real trails are marked. Bring enough water!

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.

There are panels at this viewpoint explaining the formation process of the Marchal Gullies, making it a very impressive viewpoint.

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 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.

Coming from Beas de Guadix, you first have to overcome a steep climb. Doable with a MTB cassette, 38/42 were quite strenuous with a loaded bike. At the top, however, you are rewarded with a fantastic view. Absolutely brilliant and recommended.

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

Great view from here over the Sierra Nevada, the Hoya de Guadix and of course the town of Beas de Guadix.
