View of Isleta del Moro

Highlight • Viewpoint

The restaurants in the village are famous for the "pescaito", freshly caught by the colourful boats in the area. The beauty of the place, in the Cabo de gata-Nijar Natural Park, is undeniable.

Gravel equipment yes. But even the summit is great for racing bikes

This excursion from San Jose is great. Don't miss Cala San Pedro. You might want to leave your bike in Las Negras. Depends on how tough your gravel setup is. Don't forget you towel and enjoy the cristal clear waters!
