Riópar Viejo

Highlight • Settlement

Riópar Viejo is a small town in the heart of the natural park of Calares del Mundo and Sima. It was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century due to the emigration of its inhabitants to other places in search of work. Today, it is a popular tourist spot due to its rustic and secluded atmosphere, and the surviving ruins and ancient structures, such as the 16th-century church, castle remains, and old stone houses.

Almenara Peak

Highlight • Summit

Almenara Peak is a 1796 meter high mountain in the Alcaraz mountain range. It is important for its visibility from many kilometers and for being the highest point of this mountain range.

It is not a mountain that is difficult to access on any of its sides, but the normal ascent route is on its south face from the source of Pino de los Muchachos.
