View of Barranco del Bosque

The Canales de Padules, between the Sierras de Gádor and Sierra Nevada, are a natural jewel in the Alpujarra of Almería. This stretch of the Andarax River, recognized as a Natural Monument, offers a landscape of pools and waterfalls. Part of the Three Towns Trail, the route reveals ancient grapevines and remains of mills, providing a refreshing experience next to the moderate flow of the river. Las Canales de Padules are a refuge of peace and authenticity, defying the conventional expectations of Almería.

The Rambla de Gérgal begins in the Sierra de los Filabres, but taking into account the desert character of Almería, this part seems like a wide path. Even cars can pass, but I recommend wide wheels, since the road is loose gravel.

Also known as the "Cacín road", due to the views it has over the Cacín ravine, famous for its climbing walls, this track connects the Almeria towns of Fondón and Instinción.

The entrance to this section is somewhat hidden. You have to go further at the picnic areas at the aqueduct on the left across the small stream. Surefootedness is necessary!

The Andarax river is born in a town very close to Padules, this town is Laujar de Andarax. This well-known river in our province passes through Padules and its section is a route full of nooks, falls, pools and canyons. All this route receives the name of Los Canales de Padules.

A beautiful place, let's respect the environment

The landscape around the picturesque village of Almócita offers a first foretaste of the wonderfully rugged canyons of the Alpujarras mountain region and the Sierra Nevada as their highlight.
