Archaeological sites
Alfarnate has several archaeological sites in the places occupied by its first settlers. Mousterian remains were found on the terraces of the Palancar and Morales streams, and the remains of a Neolithic workshop were found in Puerto de los Alazores, while fragments of Arabic pottery and [...] were found in Cerro del Castillejo.
Cerro del Santo Cristo
For unbeatable views of Alfarnate, the valley and the surrounding mountains, the best option is to climb the Santo Cristo hill. At the top of the natural viewpoint, there is a small altar with an image of Christ of Medinaceli, which is the last stop on the town's old Way of the Cross. […]
El Cañuelo
Its name refers to the small pipe of its crystal-clear water fountain, located at the foot of the village. Its privileged location makes this place a natural viewpoint, from where you can see a wide range of landscapes, from the active Maroma, Mesa de Zalias, Pantano de la Viñuela, a multitude of white villages to [...]
Source of the River Guaro
The main attraction of the small hamlet of Guaro, which belongs to the municipality of Periana, is undoubtedly the source of the River Guaro. Its abundant flow comes down during the winter and spring months from the aquifers of the Sierra de Marchamona and crosses the village of Guaro until it reaches the Pantaño de la Viñuela.
Barranco De Maro Cove
It is located at the mouth of the Barranco de Maro ravine. To get there, drive past kilometre 294 of the N-340 towards Nerja-Almería, turning onto the old national road just before the start of a bend. After about 300 metres, turn left before crossing the bridge and go down a lane in […]

Landscape and Landscapes of Cútar
The landscape offers beautiful scenery in the valleys of the Cueva River, which runs through the municipality from north to south, and the Cútar River (a tributary of the Cueva). In both cases, the orchards on the banks of the rivers add remarkable colour to the landscape, which […]
Via Ferrata Cueva de la Ventana
This is an interesting ferrata, which although somewhat short, is compensated with a zip line, and somewhat athletic and sustained steps. In short, a great and somewhat demanding ferrata, not to be missed.
