The La Peza viewpoint on the GR-4104 is a wonderful place to admire the panoramic views of the village and the surrounding Sierra Nevada. It is situated at an altitude of around 1000 metres and offers magnificent views over La Peza and the valley below.

Cogollos de Guadix, with approximately 700 inhabitants, is located on the northern side of the Sierra Nevada, a beautiful setting shared by other villages in this mountainous area that the Moors called the Sened. The Arab past is present in the layout of the streets with a unique town centre, where the parish church of Santa María stands out.
