Tips from the Community
Fiñana is a perfect base for hikers between the Sierra Nevada and Los Filabres, with easy access via the A-92 and the train station. In the upper town, you can walk along the Moorish route to the Alcazaba and the cistern, and visit the unique Almohad mosque converted into the Hermitage of Our Father Jesus of Nazareth, as well as the Church of the Annunciation. From the village, trails depart to the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and the Nacimiento River valley, with waterfalls and sweeping views. In summer, bring water and a hat; the steep slopes and streets require well-soled shoes.

The Puerto de la Ragua marks the border between the provinces of Granada and Almería. The Sierra Nevada stretches on both sides, with the 3000m peaks on the Granada side. The highest mountain in the province of Almería, El Chullo, is, however, easily accessible from the Puerto de la Ragua. The Puerto de la Ragua is just over 2000m.

One of the few asphalt passes over 2,000m in the region. You just have to take it with you, even if it's not particularly "exciting" IMHO.

In Abla there is a historical walking tour that passes all the sights and is well marked. We liked Abla better than the “magic village” of Abrucena.

Visits only possible by appointment and only on Wednesdays. But the climb is worth it just because of the beautiful view.

Built on the only hill that at the foot of the Sierra Nevada dominates the extensive plain of the Marquesado del Zenete, the castle-palace of La Calahorra. The castle is very beautiful, but keep in mind that it will only be there on Wednesdays.
