Tips from the Community
The Alcazaba de Baza was a fortification located in the urban area of the Granada town of Baza, Spain. Although only some sections of the wall and remains of several towers remain today, the Alcazaba de Baza was once an almost impregnable fortress. Its walls present three construction phases: a first from the 11th-12th century, another Nasrid and a last, already Christian, from the 16th century. It is located in the heart of the Historic Center of the city, dominating the old medina. 🌿🏰

Beautiful locality that gives its name to Hoya de Baza since this town is located north of the mountain range that also bears its name. The Sierra de Baza.

Castillejar is a small town where the Río Guardal crosses, and unlike the Sierra de Cazorla to the east of the town, which is green and full of trees, at this point we find hills with very low vegetation. A difference in landscape that gives it a unique point in this area of Granda.

The Basilica of Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes is a late Baroque jewel in the heart of Almería. Its imposing presence in the modest historic center of Oria makes it a must-see.

When there is a lot of water there is a small waterfall here. The trail around here is very nice and there is a point where you can cross the river nearby.

This cemetery has a long and controversial history and many graves were left in ruins. However, it is considered by some as a patrimonial attraction to take care of because here is the history of the last 200 years of Benamaurel. It is currently closed to the public as efforts are being made to clean it up and even make it a point of interest with an explanation of its history.

This church is a beautiful Renaissance-style building. Like many churches in Spain, this one was probably built where a mosque once stood. There is also a nice little square in front of the church.

Of all the towns in this area, Cortes de Baza is one of the most virgin. It is a small farming community that has not changed for hundreds of years and many of the old traditions remain intact.
