Description

Embark on a unique journey along the Vega Route and the Geoparks of Granada, a journey that will take you to discover the geological, historical and cultural richness of this impressive region. From the prehistoric footprints in Orce to the idyllic landscapes of the Salar, each stop reveals a fascinating history and a deep connection to the land, its villages and its people.

Starting in Orce, a destination famous for its paleontological finds, you can explore its ancient treasures and learn about the incredible stories left behind by the Pleistocene fossil remains. Its monumental heritage will transport you to past times as you enter its Alcazaba and palaces. In the evening, you will enjoy the local cuisine, closing the day in a cozy rural accommodation.

The route continues to La Calahorra, a stately town at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Here, the imposing silhouette of the castle dominates the skyline, while the old lime kilns and the Hermitage of San Gregorio invite you to learn more about the customs and traditions of the region. Surrounded by mountainous landscapes, you will enjoy traditional cuisine that will connect you even more with the local culture.

In Polícar, among almond and olive trees, you will experience the serenity of its vineyards and get lost in the trails that offer spectacular views of the surrounding natural parks. A visit to a local winery will allow you to taste some of the best wines in the area, completing a day dedicated to nature and authentic flavors.

Víznar will be your next stop, a place where history, culture and nature meet in every corner.

The panoramic views and tranquility of the trails will make this day an unforgettable experience.

Further on, Pinos Genil welcomes you with the soft murmur of the river that crosses its charming town centre. In this picturesque town, you will discover the history of the Tranvía de la Sierra and explore the banks of the Genil River through a beautiful path that connects with Granada. The day will culminate with a typical dinner on the edge of the river, enjoying the natural environment.

Finally, you will arrive at Salar, where Roman history still beats beneath its soils. The Roman Villa and its church of Santa Ana will offer you a glimpse into the civilizations that left their mark on this land. You will not miss the opportunity to enjoy the waters of the Bañuelo, a semi-thermal spring that adds a touch of relaxation and connection with nature before concluding this wonderful adventure.
