Castillo de Quéntar

Highlight • Castle

The Castillo de Quéntar, also known as Castillejo de Quéntar, is a historic fortification in Quéntar, Granada. It was built on a rocky hill at the confluence of the Aguas Blancas and Padules rivers1. The fortress has a rich history dating back to the Moorish times, when it was used to guard the route from La Peza to Güejar Sierra.

Unfortunately, only a few remains of the castle remain today, including parts of the walls and some medieval ceramics. The site still offers impressive views and is an interesting place to visit for those interested in history and archaeology.

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.
