Hondera Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

The area of the Seven Lagoons (and Laguna Hondera in particular) is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierra Nevada National Park. The climb up here next to the waterfall formed by the Chorreras Negras is demanding, but all the pain in your legs is forgotten as soon as you reach the top and see the beauty of the place.

Important note: if you plan to spend the night here, do not pitch your tent in the borreguiles (the grasslands). They are home to several species of flora endemic to the Sierra Nevada and it is necessary to protect them.

Three Little Pigs Houses

Highlight • Structure

In each of the three districts (lower, middle and upper town) you will find a house of the three little pigs (interesting for children). Several hiking trails lead from the village.
