Tips from the Community
The old Arboleas station was one of the small nodes of the historic Almanzora railway, built by the GSSR at the end of the 19th century. The two-story building with masonry walls still retains its classic silhouette. Although it is fenced off today, it remains an interesting point on the route, a vestige of the line that for a century connected Granada, Almería, and Murcia.

Village situated in the foothills of the Filabres, descending to the depression of Sorbas and near the Campo de Tabernas. Situated on a small elevation, it forms a well-structured round group of buildings in a not unattractive landscape where fields of vineyards, almond and olive trees predominate. The church of St. Mary characterizes the village.
