Here again is a great tile mosaic - this time with a recipe.

The elephant-shaped rock is an arch-window that frames the course of the Dilar River. To see it, you have to avoid the tree in front that hides it.

This is the meeting point of the Dilar River with the dry ravine. On the maps it appears as an elephant stone or mammoth because of a rock with that shape. The view is impressive, it is not a glacial cirque but it looks like one.

In Dilar there are some fountains with a recipe to cook after, such as Pucherico de Trigo con Hinojos

We were there, but unfortunately it is no longer accessible. It's all locked

The Termas de Santa Fe or Aguas Calientes, as the locals call them, is a space of freedom among olive groves, in the suburban park of Dehesa de Santa Fe. Here, there are some pools from which waters arise naturally, at more than 36 degrees centigrade. Given the temperature of the water at the point of emergence and its physical-chemical composition, they are considered hyperthermal, and classified as strongly mineralized, within the group of sulfated, calcium and magnesium.

The lands that act as a geological border between the Vega de Granada and the Temple, are arid, desert spaces, reminiscent of the Baza and Guadix northeast gullies. It is a land of silt, gypsum and conglomerates, in which the vegetation has had to adapt to the high concentrations of salt and the lack of water. The walls and sections show the marks left by the passage of time. Each strip is a stratum that, like a historical archive, narrates what happened in millions of years.

The mammoth is the image and symbol of El Padul due to the fact that the remains of this prehistoric animal have appeared on the territory of the municipality. It has thus become the effigy of the city and a "mammoth road" through the lagoon of the Ecrin valley is dedicated to it. It is a protected area of the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, with an area of almost 300 hectares. Most of it is agricultural land and about 60 hectares are flooded and covered with vegetation. Due to its environmental importance, it has been classified as a Special Protection Area for Birds (ZEPA), a protected area of the Sierra Nevada National Park and a Wetland of International Importance.
