Landscapes

To reach Alfarnatejo by the road that crosses the gorge of the river Sabar is to enter into a telluric landscape of torn mountain ranges in stone blocks that stopped their rolling on the slopes of Gallo-Vilo; it is to approach the domains of the eagles in the Doña Ana and Alto del Fraile gorges.

On leaving the gorge, the small depression that extends in front of the village is a rest for the traveller on his journey, but the mountains are still present. On the other side of the depression, the Sierra de Camarolos, with the Chamizo peak (1,637 metres), closes the horizon towards the Antequera region, while the Sierra del Rey, now outside the municipality, offers views to the south with a landscape of great beauty.
