walk Pinar de la Alfahuara

Circular | 9 km.

The Pinar de la Alfahuara is a beautiful hiking area within the Sierra de María-Los Vélez Natural Park, a relatively unknown yet enchanting nature reserve in eastern Andalusia. The name Alfahuara derives from Arabic and means "spring," which perfectly reflects the rich natural environment and biodiversity of this forest reserve. This forest is one of the few ancient pine forests still intact in the province of Almería. It has been protected since the 16th century, when King Felipe II introduced regulations to regulate the felling of these valuable trees following extensive deforestation in the region.

The beach of Genoveses

The Playa de Los Genoveses is one of the most beautiful beaches in the volcanic landscape of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park. You go over the beach to the Morrón de los Genoveses where you have a unique view of the bay. The walk takes you over mountain paths high above the Cala de los Amarillos before descending to the small picturesque beach of Cala Príncipe. Through the plain of Cerro Del Barronar, you walk to the beach of Mónsul.
