Tips from the Community
The 47 km loop is breathtaking for about half of the tour: mind-blowing views as far as the eye can see over 360°. Then in the second part, lots of roads that climb constantly... you have to be in good shape for this loop. The little extra: the tapas bar in the city center after that.

Surrounded by an impressive landscape, the town is located at an altitude of 633 meters, in a valley near the Fardes River. The town is located within the UNESCO World Geopark of Granada, where the archaeological site of the Gorafe Megalithic Park is located. As a curiosity, the municipality is also popularly known as 'The town of the three lies' because it is not a town, nor is it new, nor does it have towers.

Beautiful area of clayey soil located in Gorafe. It receives the name of Los Coloraos due to the color of the geological formations. Sunrise and sunset are especially ideal to enjoy this natural wonder in all its splendor.

Cabra del Santo Cristo is located in the Sierra Mágina, a massif that exceeds two thousand meters in height. The town is located in a hollow, surrounded by mountains and on one of the slopes that reach the Rambla del Royo.

The gorges/canyons of this unique landscape never cease to amaze. Great conditions for gravel riders and mountain bikers. When it rains or shortly after it rains, it can get quite muddy/sticky, so caution is advised.

If it's raining or has recently rained, don't even think about going down the ravines: it's impossible to pedal on such sticky clay.

The track goes down the desolate Loma de las Yeguas and enters the Los Coloraos desert, the environmental heart of the Gorafe desert steppes. The name is due to the ocher, yellow and reddish color of the clay soils that build the reliefs of the unique landscape, used in countless locations for movies and television commercials. The trail deviates from the main route to visit a group of more spectacular clay towers and continues through colored gullies.
