Beautiful via Verde with many views

VIA VERDE DEL VALLE DE ALMONZORA is a spectacular route of a total of 98 km through the southeast of the peninsula between the highlands of Granada in the Baza area towards the district of Almendricos, already in the region of Murcia, and passes through the Almanzora Valley in Almería. A route that for decades crossed a railway line that transported tons of iron and other merchandise.

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.
