Genil Riverbank (Granada)

Highlight • River

The Ribera del río Genil in Granada is a beautiful place for walking and relaxation. The route runs along the banks of the river Genil, from the Puente Verde in Granada to the Presa de Canales in Pinos Genil. It offers an atmospheric setting with forests of galleries and an abundance of natural beauty, especially in autumn with the colourful leaves.

Royal Dam

Highlight • Waterfall

(Royal Dam)
The irrigation channel Real or Gorda del Genil is located on the edge of Cenes de la Vega. It is a beautiful corner, especially in autumn, when the leaves of the trees turn golden and frame this beautiful waterfall.

Roman Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Puente Romano in Granada, also known as the Puente del Genil, is a historic bridge in the city of Granada, Spain. Although its name suggests that it is a Roman construction, it was actually built in the 12th century. It spans the River Genil, near its confluence with the River Darro. It is a bridge with five caisson arches, each with a span of seven metres, and is made of stone and bricks. It was originally built with stones from La Malahá. It is now a pedestrian bridge and has been a protected heritage site within the Historic Garden of the Paseos del Genil since 2007.

Path along the Genil River

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path is a green way to approach Granada. But it is not that special. Rather a missed opportunity to make something beautiful of it.

Genil River

Highlight • River

The route offers beautiful views of the Vega de Granada, the fertile river valley of the Río Genil, with many orchards and fields. The Río Genil cycle path is a great way to enjoy nature while cycling along a relatively flat route.
